Yay Couches!
As of Wednesday, I was officially here in Washington working for a year. In celebration of that (and getting my $600 tax rebate), I decided it was time to finally get some living room furniture. Futon mattress, you’re just not cutting it anymore.
Megan and I headed down south of here to a place called Mor: Furniture For Less. Get it? It’s like you’re getting more furniture for less money. Where do they come up with this stuff? That’s what I wanna know. Anyway, it turns out the place is literally across the street from IKEA, which surprised us a bit. But, honestly, once we got inside, I realized the two stores target different audiences.
I was almost disappointed that we ended up finding something we liked enough to buy at Mor, because what that really meant is that Megan has never experienced an IKEA. Even if you never end up buying anything from there, it’s still worth checking out at least once–in sheer size, it puts the average store to shame.
Anyway, we went ahead and bought a set consisting of a sofa, a love seat, a chair, and an ottoman. Overall, it was a pretty good deal at $1400, especially considering we got no interest financing until 2012. You can’t beat $35/month payments.

Jul 18, 08 at 11:56 amI want to see some pics too, but I guess that makes me a hypocrite since I haven’t put up any pics of my new place. Then again, all I have is a 0.2 Mpixel camera phone…
