I bought a piece of furniture without consulting him. It wasn't expensive--but it was a furniture purchase nonetheless. We typically consult one another before such purchases--regardless of the price. It's only fair since we live in the same space.
But, I needed it. You see, yesterday Sharon and our friend Laura and I were shopping in lovely Historic Downtown Melbourne. I saw a lovely sofa table at a thrift shop, but I wasn't ready to commit. But after a day of not being able to get said table out of my head, I went back and picked it up for $25.
Isn't she a beauty? I like the feel of it and I also like the small scale--it's hard to find a good sofa table that's made on a small scale. You can't blame me, right?
I got the table home in my somewhat trusty Volvo wagon and got busy making it "work" in the space. I have two other places that the table would fit, but I'm going to try it in my cozy nook for a while and see how it goes. If you don't recall my recent Cozy Nook Transformation, you may want to take a peek. Here's a shot of the transformation as of a few weeks ago...
I think the new sofa table made a HUGE difference in making the cozy nook even better!
Here's to hoping my husband doesn't shake his head in disapproval (yet again). He's usually a pretty good sport when I nest--as long as I don't leave a path of destruction--which I have been known to do.
And on that note, I'm off to clean up my path of destruction.
ohhhhh I LOVE THIS! I want something like this for behind my couch...
