Out with the new, in with the newer

Newer old stuff, that is. If I look a little down at the mouth, it's because the orange daybed I had my eye on was bought by a designer today. I had decided to buy it if it didn't sell quickly. Of course, I had a feeling it would sell fast. Even so, I had started doing a little mental living room furniture rearranging in hopes that the Orange Wonder would follow me home someday soon.

However, running a store is about selling things...not about furnishing your own house, so you don't let yourself get too attached to the inventory. The upside is that you're constantly finding new furniture when you run a store. Case in point is the purchase my SIL made today.

Yep, another daybed...before the orange one had even left the building. (And, yes, that's a Platner lamp/table combo you see on the left. Sweet, isn't it?)

And guess what? The daybed has a twin. The owner is hanging onto it till she finds just the right sofa to replace it, but we'll stay in touch with her...and maybe even find a sofa for her.

Now I'll have to contact Jonathan at Planner, Perimeter, Predictor, Paul McCobb and find out if those are Paul McCobb coffee tables.
