Our living room is almost complete!!!

Our living room is almost complete, I think the only major thing I'm missing now is a painting :-)


I like how it turned out, but I think it's kind of funny that when I see it I still don't believe it's part of our house, not becasue I think it's gorgeous or anything like that but because it's so different than what I'm used to.

In summary:

Sofa and Chair - Macys

Coffe Table - CB2

End Tables - Target

Table Lamps - Crate & Barrel

Decoration - Home Goods and Marshalls

Curtains and Curtain rods - JC Penney

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Nuestra sala esta casi terminada, creo que lo unico significativo que me falta es una pintura :-)

Me gusta como se ve, pero se me hace chistoso que cada vez que la veo no puedo creer que sea nuestra casa, no porque se me hace que esta super fregona o algo asi, sino porque es muy diferente de a lo que estaba acostumbrada.

En resumen:

Sofa y sillon - Macys

Mesa de centro - CB2

Mesitas - Target

Lamparas - Crate & Barrel

Decoracion - Home Goods y Marshalls

Cortinas y Cortineros - JC Penney

Macys

You might remember that we purchased our living room furniture (sofa and chair) from Macys, we were supposed to have it delivered July 8 if I remember correctly, it was a Wednesday and even though I asked them to deliver it after 4, a few days before they called me and left a message that they would deliver them between 11 and 1 BUT they also gave John a call and told him they would be there between 12 and 2... Long story short, they showed up at 11, John was leaving work early, and had to take 4 hours of vacation to be a the house for that, but when he finally got home, according to the schedule that he was given, the delivery guys had left :-(

John was upset about having to take the vacation time unnecessarily, and I was a bit disappointed that we wouldn't receive our furniture until we came back from vacation... So when I got a survey regarding the furniture and the service I did mention those things... And we ended up getting a $125 gift certificate for the inconvinience!!!

So I headed to Macys on Monday, I originally wanted to buy this candleholders, and I saw that they had a cutlery set on sale for $39.99, so I figured I could buy both with my GC... But when I got there on Monday they didn't have the candleholder size I wanted and were no longer on sale and the set wasn't on sale any more either :-( So I paid the regular price for the cutlery set and left...

I went back today because I figured what else to buy with the GC (some kitchen utensils), and when I got to the Home Department I saw that the cutlery set was BACK on sale!!! I got money back from that and purchased 2 extra pillows for our new bed :-)

I'm a happy camper!!!

Tal vez recuerden que compramos los muebles para la sala (el sofa y el sillon) en Macys, y se suponia que nos los iban a entregar el 8 de julio si no mal recuerdo, era un Miercoles y aunque les pedi que nos los entregaran despues de las 4, unos dias antes llamaron y dejaron un mensaje diciendo que iban a traerlos entre 11 y 1, PERO tambien le llamaron a John y le dijeron que iban a estar aqui entre 12 y 2... Para no hacerla larga, llegaron a la casa a las 11, John se salio del trabajo temprano (tuvo que tomar 4 horas de tiempo de vacaciones para eso), pero para cuando llego a la casa, de acuerdo al horario de entrega que le habian dado a el, los del servicio de entrega ya se habian ido :-(

John se medio awito de haber tenido que tomar tiempo de vacaciones para nada, y yo estaba un poco decepcionada porque ibamos a tener que esperar hasta que regresaramos de San Diego para que nos trajeran los muebles... Asi que cuando me mandaron una encuesta sobre el servicio y mencione esas cosas... Y nos dieron un certificado de regalo por $125 por el inconveniente!!!

Asi que el lunes fui a Macys, originalmente queria comprar estos candelabros, y vi que tenian un juego de cuchillos en especial a $39.99 asi que pense en comprar ambas cosas con la tarjeta de regalo... Pero cuando llegue a la tienda, no tenian el tamano de candelabro que yo queria y los cuchillos ya no estaban en especial :-( Asi que pague el precio normal por los cuchillos y me fui.

Hoy regrese porque ya sabia que iba a comprar con el certificado de regalo (unos utensilios de cocina), y cuando llegue al departamento de cosas para la casa vi que el juego de cuchillos estaba en especial de nuevo!!! Me regresaron la diferencia y con eso compre 2 almohadas mas para nuestra cama nueva :-)

Estoy contenta :-)
