We’ve just been through a flurry of activity! In anticipation of the sofa delivery, I vacuumed the old sofa, then we put a tarp down and moved the sofa outside to the cement walkway near the kitchen. Then, we covered it with a fitted sheet. That should hold it until Don and his friend move it tomorrow. No rain in the forecast.
Then things like vacuuming the floor, moving things out of the way. And, with a window of 9am – 1pm, the delivery guys arrived at 9! Huzzah! A father and a son, who couldn’t have been nicer.
I snapped a few quick pictures for you.
It’s an English roll arm sofa, a style I have loved for a long time. We ordered sunbrella (indoor/outdoor) fabric in a shade called Cactus. Not really because it was sunbrella, but because we liked the color. We didn’t want beige or white or gray or brown. We wanted color. Since the color looked slightly different in every photo we saw online we were praying that the reality would be what we wanted.
It is. This pop of spring green is just what we’re aiming for.
It’s longer and deeper than our old loveseat but it seems to take up much less space than we thought it would. – which is a great thing! The difference turns out to be minimal.
We are thrilled. Eventually the cushions will be more cushy and English sitting room-y. Our backs are very happy with this new addition to our house. Such great support!
After 10 weeks of waiting, we couldn’t be happier with how the whole thing turned out.
Since we rarely get anything new and have never had anything made-to-order, this is a big deal for us and it’s one of those times we say “Does this mean we’re adults now?”
Yes, even in our sixties, we say that. Late bloomers always.
Happy Friday.
