YAY - adult livingroom
By Flickr | August 13, 2006
So I’ve finally accomplished my goal and replaced pretty much all of the furniture in my living room with something more appropriate of my age. The couch and love seat arrived yesterday in all their leathery goodness and have graced my life with their welcoming embrace.
Now that they are up here in my condo I’m pretty happy, but getting them here was another story entirely. When I ordered them I carefully measured to make sure they would fit in my living room, but completely spaced on measuring any of the halls, corners, elevators, doors, or stairs to get into my living room.
Upon Wee showing up with the couches shortly after noon we excitedly hauled them through the garage and into the elevator. Sticky bit was that only about 90% of it fit into the elevator, so unless I fancied an impromptu sectional the stairs looked like the only option for getting the 3,323,467 pound couch up and into my third floor condo.
Three hours of heavy lifting later Brien, Wee, and myself managed to haul it up three flights of stairs, around 11 corners, through my door (after removing the door from it’s hinges, and one of the moulding panels surrounding my door) and into the now fully adult living room.
Thankfully after the whole couch saga the love seat fit into the elevator, and slid right into the condo (particularly with the door removed) and now sits in it’s final comfortable resting place.
Skype is a little less enthusiastic about the couches than I am. Last night he all but wouldn’t get on them, and today is still a little wary of the big, new, leather monsters inhabiting the corners of my living room. I’m sure he will get used to them (I sure am) in time, and come to love them as much as *his* old futon.
P.S. speaking of the old futon - I got rid of it on Craig’s List, and damn if the hottest guy ever didn’t come to get them. Pity he mentioned his girlfriend otherwise I so would have done naughty molesting things to him while he was checking out the couch.

Wow… What’s next, actual framed pictures on the walls and you prancing around your place in a frilly apron offering homemade baked things to visitors? Will wonders never cease?
