Fantastic Furniture

After being in our house for 3 1/2 months, we finally got our furniture!! It's such a good feeling filling empty rooms!!

Ash and I actually discovered dining room furniture we really liked at an Ashley Furniture store on Long Island during Thanksgiving Break. We would have bought it right then, except that each Ashley stores are independently owned, so we couldn't buy it and have it shipped from a local Ashley's. Long story short, after checking out many other stores and dining sets, we decided to buy the set we saw on LI from an Ashley's Furniture in Orchard Park.

However, the morning before we were going to seal the deal, a coworker told me that there was a closer Ashley Furniture in Olean. We went there that afternoon, looked over our set, and decided we still really wanted it.  The salesperson said that before we made our decision, we should also check out their clearance section. It was HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU*breath*UUUUUUUUUUUGE. We strolled around, and what to my wonderous eyes did appear but our......CHINA AND BUFFET SET. We looked the thing over up, down, and all around and couldn't find anything wrong with it. It was returned because the person didn't want it. Best part? It was $700 cheaper!! So needless to say, we made out fantastically. Check it out!

Here she comes!

Very happy with Ashley Furniture's movers--extremely friendly and didn't leave until I was happy with everything

Bedroom wise, we got our furniture from John V. Schultz in Erie, PA. The perk here was because John V. only has a store in PA and not NY, they cannot charge us sales tax! So we saved a good chunk of change! I would definitely recommend John V. Schultz (ask for Dave #1--great salesperson).

I better get all of my clothes in here before Ashley claims this whole thing for herself!!

As you can tell, the furniture certainly fills our bedroom! We love the sleigh-bed look and love how the foot board doesn't protrude, giving us extra space. Ash did a phenomenal job on the wall colors; the furniture still pops despite the dark accent wall! The coolest feature of the bedroom furniture is that the nightstands have a hidden compartment with 3 outlets, so you can hook up a lamp, alarm clock, and laptop and have all of the cords hidden away!

Now we just need our mattress, which is coming in on Saturday, and two wall sconces and we'll be done. Wow. Done. It's nice to be "done" with a room. This house is starting to feel like a home more and more each day.
