Shelby's Life and Whatnot

Buying Spree

We have some extra money leftover from the house purchase as we ended up spending less than we originally anticipated. So with this cash, we've decided to finally furnish our house in real furniture (read: furniture we don't have to assemble ourselves). We really like Mission style furniture (thankfully we're in agreement on this) and we've been doing a lot of research into different retailers. We found one that had some very nice looking stuff, Barn Furniture, and we went up to Van Nuys to check it out. Well, we loved it!

I have been wanting a bedroom set since I moved out of the dorms many long years ago, but have never really been able to afford it. I wanted to get some really decent and stylish furniture and would rather do without than get cheap stuff I'd have to replace. So finally my dreams come true. Today we bought a bed frame, mule chest, mirror, lingerie chest, and two night stands, all in the same style (click on the extended entry for pictures). We also got a darling Mission style secretary desk for me. They were having a big sale (I don't know if it was a special sale or one of those situations where they're always having a "sale") but the prices in the store were lower than they were online. Plus the best part is that it only cost us $125 for delivery for the whole set. So I'm happy with the deal we got and the furniture is solid wood and appears to be quite well made. It will be delivered on Wednesday. I can't wait!
