Saturday was one of those gloomy days that was impossibly long and disappointingly unproductive.  See, we’ve been missing a place for guests to sit in our living room for quite some time.  Remember when we bought these and spruced them up?  On the other side of our coffee table there’s been a vacant space and dinner parties just don’t seem as dignified when my boyfriend and I are forced to sit cross-legged on the rug.  We had almost given up hope at finding the right piece that was both stylish and semi-affordable when we spotted a Louis XVI style settee at the flea market yesterday.  It couldn’t be more perfect and I think we may need to throw a party just because we can now seat more than five people at one time in our living room.

    Sooo … Where’s the settee? When do we get to see pictures? :-)

    P.S. You’re my hero for walking around a flea market (for what I can only assume was hours) in high-heeled Coach boots!
