Before:
Years ago Dad gave us his sofa and an over-stuffed chair that were a matched set. They had been loved and were worn around the edges. They were still in good shape and were a lifesaver to two new homeowners with little furniture of their own. The chair died first and left the house about 2 years ago. When Dad passed away we inherited his recliner, it's a wonderful and comfortable chair, but not really our style.
This year we decided it was time to buy our own furniture, to finally get some grown-up stuff that was our own from the start. 
After flirting with a retro-mod set from Macy's we fell in love with the Cassidy series from Bassett. We chose a sofa and a love seat (also a hide-a-bed) in sage green, and a matching ottoman in chocolate brown. Disregard the feet on the ottoman, they are supposed to match the sofa and love seat. We called Bassett and the correct legs have been ordered, but it will take 3-4 weeks to get them here. Of course new furniture seems to beget more new furniture and we have turned a questioning eye to the entertainment unit and the other components of the living room (Sez would say "don't stop at the living room!"). Getting the new furniture has been a fun event, we ordered it the first week of April and it was delivered 4 weeks later. While I would never choose to wait, I have to admit it really helped build the excitement.
If you live in King or Snohomish County and want a good furniture buying experience go see Nicole (with the French accent) or Dee at Bassett Furniture in Lynnwood. They took great care of us.

Isn't it awesome, getting your own stuff? They're lovely, and beautiful, and I'm so happy for you!

I'm so glad to see your words back around a blog :) I hope this means you're finding some good balance in your life.
The furniture looks fab - very grown up. It's all yours! Enjoy it.

Mai new hide-a-bed. Thank you for showing it.
I'll be there to sleep on it as soon as I can. Keep the cat warm for me.

Very nice. How are the dogs dealing?
I dream of one day having grown-up furniture.
