Our dresser is one I had when I was little...one of those awesome particle board/cardboard numbers. Five drawers for Bryan and I to share...we have literally been able to say our "[drawers] runneth o'er." We have never had a headboard. When we moved to Bountiful from Layton, we got rid of our extra couch because we knew we wouldn't have a family room, and we never got one once our first renters moved out. So, our family room has been all but empty of stuff to sit on. In my state, it has been woe-ful (and yes, that's my word, so don't give me flack!)
WELL...
Paul, the amazing awesome cutest contractor ever, told us he was taking his old bedroom set to DI and asked if we would want it. For being older than I am, you would think it would be yucky, but the opposite...it's gorgeous!!!
THEN...
I was distracting myself from puking and was perusing the free section of ksl.com (I can afford to window shop in that section hahaha!), when I saw a free couch and loveseat...in Bountiful! I called on it, not expecting much (over 100 people had viewed the ad). Well, the guy called me back, and now, thanks to Bountiful Boy and Paul, I have...
a couch
a loveseat
a chest of drawers (do you see all those drawers???)
a dresser (MORE drawers!)
a headboard (can you imagine these when I refinish them to red mahogony to match the bookshelves and mantel??? Gorgeous!!!!)
& a nightstand.
Can you say blessings???

they're beautiful, congratulations! Someday, we too, will own a dresser and chest of drawers. Until then we'll just be thankful for rubbermaid.
Yay! That is so awesome!
That is awesome! I am still hoping for a bedroom set:) That just seems to be last on the list!
I'll say you scored! I love them.

Wow, no kidding you scored. Let me know how the refinishing goes.... I have several pieces that could use it but it makes me tired just thinking about it.
You don't know me, I'm Kelly's sister in law. I stumbled upon your blog from hers. And come to find out you are now the proud owner of my little brother's couch and loveseat! It's a small world.
Um...I'm not quite sure you've used woe-ful correctly there...
Congratulations!! We also only have 1 piece of furniture bought new... our kitchen table! We were THIS close to buying a new bedroom set on Monday, but decided to be prudent! I'm so happy for you! Think of us sharing our 5 drawers sleeping on our metal-frame-only bed tonight as you enjoy your new stuff!
Those are beautiful! Yeah to grownup furniture. We still pretty much are living with hand-me-down only furniture too. Some day we'll buy real stuff.
