Finally...

I started the search for new family room furniture December 5, 2008. I'm sure of the date because I found a dated paper that I signed to take home fabric samples the first day of my search. Today, 9+ months later, I finally signed a purchase agreement. I HATE DECISIONS. It is totally different than what I thought I wanted.... it will change the room completely even though furniture will be in the same place. The sales lady that helped me had no idea what she was in for... I HATE TO MAKE DECISIONS. The sofa had to be the right size, be comfortable, be high enough to hold my head and recline if possible. I sat in everything that fit the bill. Had to run home to see the fabric colors with my walls. I HATE DECISIONS. Went back but could not pick the fabric till I picked two chairs because they needed to coordinate. They had to swivel and recline. There was only one chair in the store that was comfortable...that swiveled and reclined. Now..fabric or leather??? I HATE DECISIONS. Which leather...what color? Sofa leather or chairs leather? I HATE DECISIONS. The sofa was bigger than my current sofa, the chairs were bigger than my current chairs. Would they fit? Would the room look really small with bigger furniture in it? I COULDN'T MAKE THE DECISION to just do it. The woman finally moved all the furniture around in the store to help me visualize. She had worked with me for several hours and was not about to lose this sale. While we were filling out the paperwork I kept saying "I hope the room doesn't look too small" "I hope the chairs aren't too dark" "I hope that I am comfortable with kids playing on and around the furniture" She smiled and kept working on the paperwork. Oh well, it's done.
