Have a seat

I really like our 2 new patio chairs to replace the broken ones out on the front patio. They even got used yesterday - one of DH's friends stopped by for a visit and they sat out there on them. I do still want to find a small little side table to go in between them. But, I don't want to spend too much. I'm tempted to just go with something like this - super cheap at about $12.50.

But, I'd prefer something with a little more style, maybe wrought iron and glass top. But, those are more expensive, of course. I'm still thinking on it.  We decided not to try and fix the webbing on the old chairs. Pretty much the only webbing I could find was the "old style" stuff - you know, like green and white, or blue, and even then it was almost as much to fix as just to replace chairs.

My original plan for the back patio/river view furniture was to include two chaise lounges with cushions. But, it's not happening this summer. They are not cheap for any I can find, even on sale. I follow a page on Facebook called The Krazy Coupon Lady. A deal for 2 zero gravity lounge chairs came up the other day. The material is kind of similar to the chairs I just bought for the front. I'm kind of liking the minimalist look of them, compared to something with thick cushions. They are supposed to be super comfortable to lounge in. Plus they have a cup holder, cell phone and book holder on the sides. 2 chairs for $60, with coupon code, free shipping. I decided to go with these. I cannot beat the price and will have some decent looking seating on the back patio, outside our bedroom french doors.

The lounge chairs should be here pretty quick, so we'll get some summer time left to get some use out of them. Plus, they will fold up nice, for winter storage. Next summer I'll work on getting a table with 4 chairs. Maybe I'll just end up getting something similar to this style of seating, which might save some money.

I still have a list of things I need for inside the house. A queen size mattress set for the bear log bed. Bedding for it. Nightstands for this bed. An area rug for the living room. A chair, loveseat and small coffee table for the upstairs loft sitting area. Washer and dryer. Fake ficus tree. Farmhouse hutch (been watching Craigslist for that).

I thought I had posted about my new dining table chairs. I guess I did not. Here they are

I ordered them from Ashley Furniture. They were on sale for about $52 each. About the cheapest I could find and also be something I liked. My other choice was about $75 per chair. the lighting is kind of dark, but the seats are a tan fabric. These are the greatest chairs, but they'll do. The cushions are kind of "stiff" I guess is how to describe them.

Above is a picture of the living room I took the other day. We need something on the wall above the tv. Originally, I was going to put my farmhouse clock there, but it looked to small.  DH keeps saying it needs a big elk mount, LOL. Have to say I agree, though he doesn't hunt, so need to figure something else out, I guess. Behind the loveseat, under the open staircase is where I want to put a ficus tree. We were at least smart and planned ahead for the tv wiring to be up in the wall behind the tv so we don't have to see wires. If we ever do get satellite again, supposedly we would just put the box in our bedroom (the other side of the fireplace) and the remote would work through the wall. At least that's what the electricians told me would work, so I didn't have to have a cable box sitting on the mantel.
