Let's build a couch...

Guess What? The 2nd half of our couch arrived today. I was so excited when I went outside and there it sat…I had a hard time dragging the box in (64lbs) but once we got it inside I was ready to start organizing. I had already been told that I couldn’t put it together, had to wait for JD to come in. However, I could organize the pieces lol. Usually the mess you are about to see would have sent me into panics but I stayed calm and cool…I guess the excitement of the couch won over!

So here we have the 2nd box being opened and you see the Cushions wohooo!!!



Here are the pieces all layed out…I had 1-10 in one pal and so on till we had all 38 organized.



Here is the cushions all piled up on the futon…everyone say goodbye to the futon…



Here is the start of the frame…



Here the back is on YAY!!



Next up is the side’s ohh so close…



Then we got to start putting on the fabric YAHOOO



And finally after only 90 mins I give you my new couch…I’m sooo excited I can’t stand it…



The futon was going to be saved for JD’s brother but after we finished the couch we realized the futon also came in a box and would not go through our doors unless we tore it apart… We started carefully removing the bolts but finally go so tired with that we shoved it out a door and into the snow. JD’s parents are coming up this week for a funeral and will decide then if they want it for his brother or trash day will take it.

*sigh* I’m so happy I don’t have to tell everyone get up so I can fix the cushion (another of my peeves) anymore!! : )
