It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a sectional!

Yeah, that's right. You heard it here first - Todd and I finally got our sectional!

Now, for those of you who have been chatting with me, you know how I feel about the sectional. I think it's the one piece of furniture we truly needed. It gives us a place to sit, to chat, to watch TV, and to play our new PS2. It ties the room together.

So, with that in mind, we've been scouring Craigslist for a nice deal and a nice sectional. Todd wanted leather. I wanted microfiber or very high quality leather. We both wanted a nice deal.

Then we found a fabric sectional for $200 on Craigslist. Interesting. So we went to see it. And, despite our need for a sectional, we had to pass it up. It just wasn't anything close to what we wanted.

That night, as we briefly scanned Craigslist...oh my...could it be? A sectional! Priced at $200. Microfiber and leather. With an ottoman.

After emails, text messages, going out there only to be told they needed it for a couple more days, then them calling (only about 15 minutes later) saying that we could come pick it up, but that they had marked it wrong and it was really $400...

It was a fiasco. But we got it. We compromised and settled on $350 for it. Todd and I think that we ripped them off (i.e. we got a screaming great deal).

And now, without further ado, here is our sectional!
Hey, it's heavier than it looks. I needed a rest afterwards. And Titus was very curious about this new piece of furniture in his domain (especially since it smelled like it had been freshly shampoo'd - which it had!).

Here's a pictures without Titus and me obscuring the view.
It looks a lot better in person. It's pretty much exactly what I was looking for and I love it.

And it's super comfortable!

Yay!
