My sister and nephew came up yesterday afternoon and helped me go pick up my new-to-me furniture and move it into my apartment. I then treated them to dinner because if someone helps you move stuff then you ought to at least feed them. :) Plus dinner gave me more time to visit, which is always fun. Lots of lively discussion happened, and I managed to make plans to go see the new Avengers movie on Sunday with nephew and maybe sister and brother-in-law (nephew is 16 and a lot of fun to hang out with).

I will note that it's been a long time since I've driven anything larger than a small SUV, so driving the U-haul cargo van was both terrifying and fun.

Anyway, I promised some photos when I got the chance. I haven't decorated much yet, so the walls are a bit bare. Both couch and chair will be getting slip covers. A dark red cover for the chair to make it look a little less retro, and a dark tan cover for the sofa to try to protect the pretty cream sofa from inevitable stains. I also got three small wooden bar stools as they make the best portable coffee tables/laptop stands (and are the perfect height for most chairs and couches).


Photo of a room with sage walls and variegated green carpet, under oak framed windows against the back wall is a cream sofa with plushies seated on opposite sides of the scalloped back.  A brown and white throw pillow with embroidered tan flowers and green leaves sits on the left side of the couch, while a brown and green throw pillow sits on the right.  In the corner is a standing lamp with shelving units built in.  It has a long boxy-shape and the light sits behind a cream colored shade that takes up the top box shelf.  Against the left wall and under another oak-framed window is a rocking wing-back chair with an avocado green floral pattern. To the left of the chair is an oak table/bureau with two draws and a recessed cubby hole. On the table is a dark bronze lamp with a red shade and a large raku-glazed pottery vase.

A close-up view of the cream sofa with a scalloped back.  On the right side of the back sit a devil plushie (red with an orange belly, yellow fangs, green dimples, orange and purple striped horns, and purple hair, nose, hands and feet) and a black pony plushy with red stitching accents) on the left is a moose plushie and a turquoise and purple dragon plushie.  A brown and white throw pillow with embroidered tan flowers and green leaves sits on the left side of the couch, while a brown and green throw pillow sits on the right. In front of the couch are oak bar stools.  The one on the right holds a cup of coffee, water bottle, phone, and blue pillbox.  The one on the left holds a black laptop.
