Y'all are making me want to look at furniture, but I am not getting anything before I move and/or have fewer pets.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Seriously -- now I want a new dining room table, too! For basically no reason. The one I have and don't ever use now is fine!

We'll be lucky if I get out of this without new towels or something.
Macy's is having a sale on bath towels. Which I already told Dana, but FYI.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I have a vague plan to get this table [link] once I manage to get my drafting table out of the breakfast nook.

Oh, that's very cool, aurelia! I also dig the one Ginger linked to, I like that simple clean style.
So don't need a table. The only possible place I could put a table is outside, and there are already three out there. Geez, how did that happen? I am a person who likes having horizontal surfaces handy, I guess.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I think any new furniture/household goods we buy are going to be baby related for the foreseeable future.

That sounds right.

I only got a new dining room table because it was free. (Well, $80 for the van rental but other than that). I'd wanted a new one but wasn't able to justify it when I had a perfectly cromulent table already.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Aside from a small table and a couple storage ottomans, the only furniture I've ever bought new was my couch/chair/footstool, on discount because it was a display set, way back in 2000. Everything else is thrift store finds and inheritances from my mom/grandparents.
I tried to go buy a new living room set a few months ago, and the prices and quality made me so mad, I decided to keep what I have until the cats rip all the upholstery off, at which point I guess I'll figure out how to reupholster it myself. Or I'll buy more secondhand stuff. My sister bought two gorgeous comfy chairs for her den at a consignment store for $90 that look like they've never been used. Paying full retail price, I can't do it.

I bought a bright red stool for $30 at Tuesday Morning that retails for $70. I kept staring at it and going "$70? Why? I'm only paying $30 because I love the color and want something that height to sit on."
edit: the cat sleeps on it and has since barfed on it. If retail prices included a cat barf shield, it might be worth it.
ION, I was reading a forum on Ravelry about behavior issues with 7 year olds, and a celestial chorus kept singing in the back of head, "Thank God I never had any!" Standard childhood developmental behavior makes me shriek. Thank heaven I knew that about myself before it was too late.
