Furniture Shopping at Home

I was walking around my parents house this past weekend and noticed that there were a couple of furniture pieces I wouldn't mind sneaking away with when we move.


The first piece is found in my dad's office, which used to be my bedroom through middle and high school.  It's amazing how different the room looks with all of my 'NSYNC posters off the wall. I love the curve of the back and the legs on this chaise lounge.


Our current room actually used to be my brother's room in high school.  Mom and Dad weren't kidding when they said they were going to redo our rooms after we moved out.  I am loving the detail in the frame around the mirror above our bed.  I might be tempted to paint it another color depending on the room.  While we're at it, Chris and I have both talked about how much better we sleep on this mattress.  Guess that means it's time to finally replace our old set.


Love, love, love the lines on this chair.  I was a little jealous when my mom told me about the great deal she got on it.  Right now it's hiding out in the second guest room among other items, but I think it deserves a spot  downstairs once she completes her make over of the formal living room.


And last but not least, we have dad's old recliner.  This thing has been around for some time and is now Chris' go to when we're relaxing in the gameroom.  He has already stated that he needs a recliner for future gaming in our house. Wonder if my parents would really miss any of these pieces if they just happened to find a way onto the moving truck

Have you been into the home of a family member or friend and had the urge to make off with some of their furniture?

  8. Both of our parents sold their homes within a year of us buying ours. We were lucky because we got 2.5 bedroom sets out of it! We also got a couch set from Jim's aunt. We didn't have to buy a lot of furniture when we moved, which was a huge savings.
