| I have been driving myself nuts for the past month or so because I can buy new furniture for my living room if I want to. I know, you younger girls are thinking I am crazy already, but I tend to really want to do something if I can't, but when I am presented the opportunity, I freeze like a deer in headlights. Too many choices, which will be the best, and will I get sick of it and wish I had gotten something else -- so what do I choose? NOTHING!!! The couch and chair I have in my living room are pieces that we already had when we built this house, and the colors are OK, but they weren't necessarily purchased for this room - but they work OK, so I haven't really cared that much. I saw some furniture that I thought would look good in here, so I mentioned to my husband that I would like to get it. (OK, this is when some of you are going HUH?? - but I promise, I really don't make that many major purchases) A few days later he handed me some money and said to get what I wanted for the living room. (Mind you, it isn't exactly a gold mine, but enough to buy what I had seen). Well, what I had originally seen was gone, so I started looking at other stuff -- BIG MISTAKE!! Now, I had to decide, leather or fabric, what color, sectional or a grouping, and I came home totally confused. Several times (asks them, they will tell you it is true) I took one of my daughters to look at what I thought was IT, only to decide that I really didn't like it that well any more, or that it really wasn't the right color. I am really starting to worry about my mental state. Do I have a fear of committment? It isn't like I am choosing a life partner or anything (when come to think of it was probably an easier choice - less options)-- just a couch and a chair (or maybe a sectional) or maybe two couches and a big chair with an ottoman... Would somebody please just come over here and tell me exactly what I should do with my living room? Maybe you could submit this to HGTV and they will either have pity on me (or have me committed). |
