On Saturday, we went to Hickory, North Carolina (i.e. "the furniture capital of the world") to look for bedroom and living room furniture for our new home. We started looking for furniture in Charlotte a few weeks ago and found a few things we liked at Ashley Furniture...but we wanted to go to Hickory just to make sure we weren't missing out on any great deals. Aaron and I like to do lots of shopping and research before we buy anything. After going to two of the 40-acre furniture marts in Hickory and not finding one piece of furniture we liked (or could afford), we decided to go with what we had found at Ashley. We purchased the furniture on Saturday and it should be delivered to our house on March 14th. We're so excited! Here are some photos of what we bought:
We purchased a chest-of-drawers for our bedroom instead of the armoire.
This coffee table might be my favorite piece of living room furniture we purchased. The top is split down the middle and each side slides horizontally to reveal LOTS of storage space. I love the detail on the sides. And I love that it looks like a treasure chest. We also bought the sofa set that's behind the coffee table. Aaron's favorite piece of living room furniture is the "chair-and-a-half" and ottoman that comes with the set.
This is the end table that goes with the "treasure chest".We're really happy with our purchases. When we decided to buy furniture, our mentality was: "Since we can afford it, let's do it right the first time. We won't ever have to buy furniture again (or at least not for a really long time)."
After church and small group on Sunday I came home and unpacked a few more boxes. We're finally beginning to see the floor and walls in our bonus room! I got a little more painting done last night, too!
Our house is becoming a home, slowly but surely...
