Best Purchase Ever!!
Posted in Soapbox by: Alisa
Want to know what mine is? For sure it’s our couch. We bought it when we were first married and have loved it every day since. I spent a grand total of nine months of bed rest on that puppy. The color is a beautiful cranberry/wine and the leather is as soft as butter. Want to know where we got it? JC Penney. Yeah, can you believe it? It’s held up almost nine years now and we have not a single complaint about it. Not one.
Now, I’m afraid we’re going to see some wear soon because the kids use it as a jungle gym. I know there are some of you out there that are appalled at that but we live in a tiny condo. There are very few places for the kids to horse around so we allow them to jump on our furniture. So even they love our couch. It’s our meeting place. Where we hang out and it’s served us well.
So, what’s your favorite purchase? Your home, your car, your cell, your vacuum, the haircut you got when you were 17 and haven’t been able to replicate since? Come on, tell me.

lol my birth control. No, kidding, kidding. But my favorite purchase? Hm… Good question. I didn’t technically purchase it, but I guess my engagement ring. (I had to really think hard about this.) I love it. It sparkles and everything. Hm, I really don’t know though.

Ben hates this, but my favorite purchase is definitely the dining room table I got at IKEA for 100 bucks five years ago. It was in the as is area because it had been a display. It’s way too big for the space it’s in, but that puppy can fit 14 people around it comfortably, and more in a pinch. It’s also the kind of table that the more wear it has, the better it looks, and you can’t beat that!

hmmmm, what we actually bought new?? ( I am huge fan of craigslist and hand me downs!) New – I would say our tv hutch. Its beautiful and makes the room. It was expensive at the time, but 7 years later, it still looks great. It will be a sad day when our only TV choices will be flat screens and I will have to think of something else to put in it. An aquarium maybe?
