Who's Shopping for Furniture on Presidents Day?

As I was cleaning the house yesterday preparing for some out of town guests arriving this weekend, I decided I don't like my sofa anymore, or my area rugs, or my lamps. 

Did someone say President's Day furniture sales?



As I moved the sofas off the area rug to vacuum, I took a good look at my only 4 year old sofas and just realized that I really, really would like something new or just something different.

Knowing that President's Day is coming up and there are incredible furniture sales going on now, I wonder if I would be able to go to the stores “just to look” without buying anything? And if I did happen to buy something because on top of the amazing sales and the Designer discounts, what would I choose?

Maybe some trendy color?
No. I would be locked into a color scheme I may not like next year.


Definitely not, too Darth Vader.



Color is nice but isn't leather cold in the winter, slippery in the summer and makes “odd” noises sometimes when you move just right on the cushions? “Really, that sound did come from the sofa”. One benefit of leather I heard it is easy to keep clean. Something to think about.



As much as I love green, do I love it that much to be seeing quite this much of it every day?


This actually would be a possibility although how hard will this be to keep clean?  It would look great with the wall color I would choose if I had to paint again.



Hmmm, and maybe throw in an area rug?


And a few lamps?



Well since I'm dreaming, throw in a new husband because mine would KILL me if I went shopping this weekend.


What? A girl can dream can't she?

All joking aside, if you are in the market to go furniture shopping this Presidents Day weekend, there are some amazing sales that you can take advantage of - just do your homework and decide what colors and styles will look best in your home.

If you need help with your color choices of course you can contact me for that. In the market for a new husband? George is ALL MINE!

  1. I want a new sofa as well, there are so many new designs that I would love to have, though I'm leaning towards the tufted ones.
    Oh your choice of a new husband is awesome...

  2. you made my morning - haha - as I was reading outloud the beginning of your blog where you said "just to look" - my husband made his only comment - right - just to look. Alas, looking and dreaming are so much fun - i loved this entry. One day when I move back to the states -that's what I'll be doing "just looking". Have a wonderful week and thanks so much for all your ideas
