Ugly Chair? Opinions

Ok. stay with me here. I am looking for an accent chair. I do kinda think this is ugly, but not bad ugly. LOL if that makes sense? lol. I like it. I think it will add a pop of colour, and pattern to an otherwise rather boring decor scheme we have going. My dear dear husband thinks I am nuts, lol. He wants to get a plain leather (or faux leather) chair and call it a day. I think we need more personality.
NOW. He is getting a new tv, wii, and I compromised on the colours alot, to suit his more muted tastes. So when it comes down to it, I have earned the chair ;).
Any thoughts? Is it tooooo crazy? Does anyone else agree its ugly, but kinda cool kitchy ugly, lol?

This is the kind of weather I like.

Its perfect weather for me today, kinda windy, not too hot. I hate the heat, the sun is peaking through the clouds, the breeze is nice, no need for a coat just a sweater. sigh perfection.

Here is Wave at the park. I love the shot of her hair in the wind. :)

We has Couch :)

Today Patrick and I went to St Jacobs Furniture House, to look around and we were so pleased to find a wide selection in a huge array of prices. We wanted to cap the cost of the couch to $550 before taxes and delivery (add that stuff on, your talking another almost $200, ykwim). In that price range we found most stores only had 2 or MAYBE 3 couches to choose from and they all looked cheap. So we were happy to find the selection at JFH.
Anyways... We ordered our couch :) YAY! Finally we found something we could agree on. Here is a pic of it, but ours is not that colour, ours is going to be Mocha, like a medium brown colour. Very nice, very comfy, and NEW, not used, not handed down, brand spanking new .. sigh :).

Snobby Stacy

I don't want to buy used furniture. I admit it. There I said. My DH god bless him is very frugal. I like to think I am pretty frugal myself. All of currant furniture is used, hand me down stuff, besides my dinette set and our tv, that we bought a couple yrs ago.
This is a pic of my hand me down crap. Granted it was free, and its done us well for the last couple of yrs, but enough is enough, I don't want to buy or get for free, used furniture. I want to go in a store and pick out furniture that DH and I, pick out, ours selves no compromising (of course price is factor, lol, so a little compromise).
He wants to take a couch we found on kijiji, it looks brand new, its $100, it can be delivered. Its Not exactly what I want.... its kinda big for the space, but doable, its lighter in colour, and i think its going kinda blend in with the wall colour, but all in all, its a fine couch, its a great deal and we could use the money we save elsewhere. But I just can't bring myself to stop wanting to have that experince of going out picking out MY couch, not someone elses couch that they no longer want.
sigh. Does this make me a HUGE snob, does anyone understand this? Patrick doesnt at all, he gets that I wanted another colour and size and that truthfully we can afford to buy a more expensive couch, but if we save money , thats all he cares about. sigh.

HUSBANDS grr

I can barely type but I am sooo annoyed I am venting on the good ol' blog.

Husbands, gah.

So furnishing a house in 3 weeks, not easy for anyone, but having to agree on furniture and price of it with MY husband. Mission impossible.
he has these idea's of what it should cost in Patrick land... $300 for a couch, no more then $150 for a table, and all the other stuff had better be free. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
then its about the style of said impossibly priced couch. He wants huge lazy boy furniture in our new small, living room. I want normal person sized furniture so our entire living area isn't blocked by giant sized furniture.
He wants non removable, yet somehow washable cushions... huh. Yeah right, I spend days looks in stores, online etc. for him to pay little attention to all my research and stick to this idea in his head.... GAHHHHHHHH. I am sore, I am annoyed with my shoulder and I am in no mood for this. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh

I feel better now. Thanks. :)

Wanna know the best way to get out of packing...

Tear your Rotator cuff. :(. I Kid you not. I am out of commission I spent lastnight in the ER. It was a slow night so I walked right into an xray. stay for a couple of hrs for a cortozone shot and am going to physio next week (wants me to rest it until then). We move in under 24 days. I can't pack a box, move a table, nothing.
Wish me luck. I am going to be going crazy not being able to pack things, I am going to become the packing natzi, my poor husband. lol

Furnishing an entire House in 24 days.

Yep thats me, I'm a nut :). We decided a couple weeks ago that we (alright, I ) could not bare to bring our old hand me down furnishings into our brand spanking new townhouse. So .. I have the task of picking out new furniture for , the living room, the patio, and Waves room. So not the entire house I guess, the dining area is done, and our master.. will wait, cause I am going to be broke ;).

This is how far I have gotten, A new computer chair.. and Waves new bedding. Yep. thats right, thats not a lot. 24 days... and counting. sigh

Oh I should mention the bedding was at homesense for $23, and we do know what else we are buying for her room, so its done in my head, lol I just have to go back this weekend and finish off the buying.
