OMG!!! MUST. HAVE. VINTAGE. FLORAL. BEAUTIFUL. OMG. COUCH. WANT!!!!

The following is a post from my beautiful wife, Michelle. Thanks hunny! The couch that started it all. It was a fateful rainy day in Seattle.  Just a girl and her baby walking through a thrift store….and then….she saw it!  It’s what she’d been waiting all her life for.  The one.  The perfect floral couch! I looked, I lusted, I sat and took a quick sniff….but then I left.  What in the world would I do with a crazy couch like that?  I already owned three couches, all of which I love.  Go home, Michelle, go home!  But first, post a photo on facebook! I got home and had non-buyer’s remorse.  I just couldn’t stop thinking about it!  So after a little encouragement from friends and 27 comments later, I was all in.  I called up the thrift store and bought it over the phone!

When you get pregnant there are many things that run through your mind, SO many things to be excited for, nervous for and plan for.  I know I started planning the nursery immediately, and the first thing I did when I found out we were having a boy was buy him this onesie. (There are little socks with Harleys on them to go with it )  This thing was on clearance at BabyGap for like $12….and as a new mom so excited for her little BOY, that was no problem (better than the $30 onesie on the next rack over!)  It got me to thinking though, if I have to pay $12 every time my kid needs a onesie, I’m screwed.  Of course for my shower we got TONS of clothes (and I know from other showers I’ve been to that mothers of girls get even more!)  However, we worked … Continue reading →
