garage sale find

We were not planning on garage saleing this weekend but we found this chair on craigslist that I really wanted so we were driving around. Someone already got the chair so I was sad but then we followed a garage sale sign and found this:

Its a red leather couch and it was $50 (after Daniel's extreme haggling). We love it. I scrubbed it for about 5 hours (yeah I know but most garage sale finds need elbow grease). I scrubbed it with body wash and water. Isn't that funny? But I googled it and it was an at home remedy because anything stronger would hurt the leather and it really worked. I wanted a red couch and a leather couch but never thought I would get one, now I have one and we rearranged all the furniture.


We moved everything and cleaned everything so that was great. Now I have a little office area behind the couch wohoo for that!Now my book selves are in a little corner like a library thing. I want to paint them soooo badly and staple a fun pattern material on the back but Daniel likes the woodgrain wood stain look.

Thats fantastic. I find it refreshing to clean and rearrange a room. I am quite proud that it took me 6 months to rearrange me house. Great job Miriam.
