The furniture edition

I was so excited about my little console table arriving Thursday that I completely forgot my new chair was also arriving. I have been waiting for that to come for quite awhile now. Of course, both had to be put together.

Putting the chair together (by DH) went easy, until he got to the last 2 wood plugs that go to cover up the screw holes. They aren't sized right for the plugs. Dumb. Took him longer to finagle those 2 plugs in than to put the chair together. But, I do like the chair. It's fairly comfortable. But, it looks very lonely sitting in the loft all by itself...

The little sculpture I ordered for the console table was supposed to arrive next Wednesday - and it came yesterday. Woo! At least now the table doesn't look lonely. But, still needs something next to it and on the wall above the table. I'm thinking a small mirror.

The orange-ish colors in the buffalo match the blanket and throw pillows some. It's a nice heavy wood, sturdy table. I'm pleased for $60 (though with gift card and coupon it only cost me $5)

I'm trying to find a new office chair to order for dh. He's been sitting on an old wood dining room chair for the past 15 months. All the reviews of the chairs I am looking at are driving me nuts. "it's a great chair" "it's an awful chair" "it's held up great" "it's falling apart already" "it helps my back" "it hurts my back". And it does no good to go try out chairs at the office supply store. You can't tell by sitting in a chair for 30 seconds. I thought my chair was comfortable when sitting in it at the store, but it's not at all. I guess I should just tell myself that any chair is going to be better than what he's been sitting on, LOL.

Our wild cat hasn't been around to eat the food put out at night for like 10 days, so I stopped putting out the food for him. Wednesday night dh thought he caught him again on the game camera, so I put the food out again last night. This morning the bowl was moved but nothing eaten. Camera: a SKUNK! and then a mouse later on.....ok, guess I won't be putting out any more cat food :( Mr. Wild cat is on his own now.

Had a little bit of rain yesterday and more supposed to come today. Hoping it clears out the "unhealthy air quality" we've been having for a week.
