It was a great weekend filled with a little bit of everything and not much of anything. I love these types of weekends best of all. Nothing planned, no where to be.

The highlight was definitely my thrift store find. A delicious Nantucket-y red 3-piece set (couch, love-seat, chair… and an ottoman for good measure!) for a eye-popping $99. I feel like I won the lottery.

And it’s glorious.

Zanner and I will be moving to a new apartment in the fall. I’m so excited I could burst. Right now I own a 3-piece furniture set from IKEA and that’s held it’s own for a good 6 years now, but I’m ready for a change. I’ve learned that I’m more of a color-loving girl and this bright couch certainly does the trick. I can’t wait to add patterned throw pillows and find complementary curtains and the like.

I’m envisioning an anthropologie inspired look. My heart is smiling just at the thought of it.

I spent the better part of the afternoon just lying on the big couch in the sunshine, reveling in my luck. Next step is to give the furniture a good thorough wash. Yeee-haw. What a steal!
