James and I have been looking and looking, and looking and searching, googling, craigslisting, and looking and looking...
For a couch--
For months.
The problem with our apartment is the 31'' door frames. In the early 1900s, when this house was built, furniture could fit through those door frames. Not so today. With all the searching we did, we found plenty of couches we actually liked, they just wouldn't fit into our living room. You can't pretend you have more space than you actually do.
In the end we opted for the couch in a box from Ikea. Honestly, it is pretty perfect. For one, it fits. It also looks great in our place. More than anything, I am excited to share it with friends. We can invite people over and have a nice place to hang out, and this also doubles our guest sleeping space. You could put two (or three) kiddos on this couch, and sleep on the queen air mattress if you wanted to.
Hint, hint.
We spent the evening putting it together and made a date night of it, complete with a delicious pizza homemade by me. We acquired three refrigerator-sized boxes in the process and I definitely took the opportunity to play in them. James fell asleep on the couch last night after we got it all assembled. Just to make sure right?
Our house feels like home.
