Putting Your Feet Up

c.b. and i have been slowly* trying to piece together our apartment. one of the final missing elements has been a coffee table for our living room.

initially, the issue was that c.b. wanted to spend less money, and i wanted to spend more:

but then, we found this table, and the tables--so to speak--turned:

it was WAY more money than i wanted to spend, especially after i found this table, which i fell in love with:

and c.b. hated. so, we were at a standstill. and our apartment was doomed. i mean, we tried to compromise. we both agreed we wanted a square table, and we looked at many:

but none really did it for us, you know? so, it looked like we were destined to never have a coffee table ever. and then, i saw it on ebay:

it was lovely, solid, heavy, and huge. best of all, free shipping! i knew i had to have it, and c.b. agreed:

so, we bid, and we waited, and we hoped that it wouldn't exceed our max bid. and....

we got it! for less money than the other two we each loved. so lucky! 

maybe you notice that it isn't square. yeah, well...shut up. booyah!


*he would say "quickly," which just may give you a little insight into how ocd i am, and how not ocd c.b. is.
