The next step in Operation Manhattan, new furniture! While I had the dumpster, the old bed and couch were ditched! I never liked the couch, it was a piece of crap. The bed needed to go since cats hide under there, not a good thing in an emergency. Jennifer wanted to get a new bed too. Her couch will be alright once we get it out of the POD.
I ridiculed the place I’m about to gush about before while giving it the wrong name! In my defense, I just wasn’t in the mood to shop nor think about furniture. Recently Jennifer mentioned how she wanted the new bed to be one close to the floor so her cats Vegas and Nubby can’t live under it plus it would have drawers for storage, as I have a “small” house. According to my friends in Europe, I have a mini mansion!
During my research for a new bookshelf that wasn’t particle board crap with a funky Scandinavian name, I learned how the FMoT resells locally or American made stuff. I went with Austin’s Furniture in the Raw for my bookshelves but I was hooked on this place on the bed. A very helpful guy gave me the breakdown sheet on the bed Jennifer practically described and informed me about the financing and delivery. We went back last night to follow through! What a great deal too. We got the bed we wanted made to order, the headboard, the color, the two rows of cabinets, nightstands and dressers. Plus delivery, assembly, financing and some protection from sun or scratch damage for a few years. The helpful guy was off for the day but an equally great young lady took it all down. To protect her privacy, I will only say she was thrilled how I figured her first name came from a Roxy Music album her parents loved! Here’s the kicker. If you’ve been following the stories in the media regarding “the supply chain” drama, most new furniture takes almost six months to receive now. We’ll be getting this setup within 12 weeks, slightly under three months. Hot damn tamale, our house is going to look so bitchin’ in 2022.
