Our first furniture purchase

Today we purchased our first piece of furniture as a couple! We are definitely moving up in the maturity of purchasing power. Terry and I currently have two apartments and he is living in a one bedroom in Charleston and when we have visitors the sleeping arrangements present a problem. Terry being the gentleman that he is usually gives up his nice queen-size bed for his guest and camps out on his lazy-boy dual recliner couch. This couch is probably over 10 years old and has lost most of the cushioning it began with. Every time that you try to recline the chair you must convulsive your body in a certain movement so that you can physically put yourself into a reclining position with the recliner or if you try to stretch over the couch from end to end you feel ever 2 by 4 that sections the couch. Needless to say it does not make for a comfortable nights sleep or nap!
this is what the old couch looks like although this couch doesn't
 have the more than 10 years of service look...


So we have been debating about a couch or a couch that converts to a sleeper sofa. We wanted something with a neutral color so that we can use it with any color palate. So needless to say after much looking we have purchased from Ashley Home Furniture the Townhouse - Tawny queen sofa sleeper......
this is our new couch to be delivered before Feb 10th to our Charleston apartment 
I didn't purchase the accent pillows though. That is my next project - decorating.......

And guests are welcome anytime!
