On Saturday, the Fourth of July, I went to LA Fitness, and after the workout I went in to see the furniture at Macy's. I was to attend a housewarming party at Jon and Whitney's new home in Sherman at 530pm.
Macy's had a sofa, ottoman, and chair that I was somewhat interesting. The woman told me that although the sale ended on Sunday, she would give me the sale price until at least the end of the week. She gave me some color swatches so that I could select a color that would go with the rug.
When I was in Sherman Whitney told me that they got their new sofa/recliner at Furniture Row. I had never heard of this store but it was very near Ashley Furniture, south of Rt. 72 off of Vets. On Sunday I visited the store and just happened to speak with the salesman that sold The Brandenburgs their furniture piece. This sofa/recliner had been sold three times because it was so big that they were unable to get it into the house. I saw some pieces that sort of interested me, but the sale ended that evening, and I would only be saving $36. Not really a sale.
I then went over to Ashley Furniture and I think I found the stuff for me. She took 15% off and I have a three year interest free loan on the merchandise. It's a sofa, chair, and ottoman that is an older design and will look sharp in the 'new' 1960's house on Westview. The color is rust and it should highlight the area rug perfectly. The saleslady works on commission and I said that I would make sure that she was there when I signed the deal.
On Monday I got an email from Joe telling me that the closing will happen on Thursday, 7/9 at 930am at Chicago Title. This is a block north of Allen near Staab Funeral. This is right off on of my most used bike routes.
