Some Sprucing Plans

I've got such big plans for home improvement when my lottery ship comes in! (Which will probably be a while, since I don't want to spend my hard-earned money on tickets!) Sometimes I think I should just trash the whole list and go for a new house instead, but I dread the idea of packing, so I'm willing to stay put with a few enhancements ;)

We've swapped out the living room sofa and loveseat twice so far. When I first moved in we had the most comfortable couch ever, but it was starting to look a little rough. Since then we've had two different 'new to us' sets. I dream of someday actually picking out my own reclining sofa set. Okay, I'd let hubby have some say, but to have an actual choice of style and color instead of 'take it or leave it?' I get giddy just considering...

I think hubby would have more fun helping me choose patio furniture. I'm pretty pleased with the new tablecloth I got for our metal table this year, but I still know the monstrosity that is underneath the bright blue plastic, erm...cloth. I really like the sort of mesh-y chairs that hose off pretty well. And when I've tried them out at friends' houses, they're nearly as comfortable as the cushy cloth seats. When I sit on the padded ones, the thought always crosses my mind at some point that a spider or other yickiness could be hiding in all the squishiness. Maybe that's just me...

new stuff is always fun, but once I've bought something I like to hang onto it... just more comfy. Hope you get your new stuff and enjoy picking it out.
