We have a nice, big family room in the new house, and I love it. Unfortunately, I don't love the fact that we have seating for about three people. We did inherit a futon from Geoff's mom, which is currently residing in the office, but I wanted something that looked a little more formal than a futon, even if it is just for the family room.
Since we had a truck rented for moving anyway, I decided to look on craigslist for a suitable couch. I also posted a request on Freecycle, hoping to get a free couch instead of having to buy one.
We were in luck! I was able to find this sectional which also includes a sleeper section, so we have more than enough room to have parties and guests, which is always nice.
The best part is, this couch is very comfortable for napping on! Don't worry, I've tested it out already. The couch may not be a color I would have picked, but it was free, and it will work for us until we have they money to buy new furniture! In the meantime, my other Freecycle couch resides in the front room! As for the black futon that the first couch replaced...I sold it on Craigslist yesterday!
