Found It!

Well, like with my apartment, I'd hunkered down and prepared myself for a long haul in trying to find the perfect couch... and then?! There it was! A gorgeous Danish mid-century modern day bed with the most perfectly colored pattern. Right there on my last turn around Past Perfect II, on Lombard. After my stroll around the store on Union Street and much prodding by my co-worker to check it out, I stopped by after work. Here she is...
The best part was the negotiation that was had between me and the guy working there. When I went to ask about delivery services, he asked how much the piece was that I was eying. "$850," I grimaced thinking that I would go home and think about it some more. "Would you pay $500?" he asked me. "Uh, yeah." I said aghast. "How about $450?" he continued talking me down... "Yes, of course!" I practically screamed. "We've had that piece forever and the owner may just want to get rid of it. Let me see," and he called the owner, the owner said yes, and I handed him my credit card! Hallelujah!

I also spotted this amazing Edwardian chair that also matched my room and new couch!
 My wonderfully tasteful Uncle suggested that I make sure to mix in some pieces that capitalize on the historic nature of my turn of the century apartment but, they are asking $300 for this and it's in need of repairs. The hunt continues. Next on my list, a chair kind of like this one, an antique dresser for my room, and an armoire for the living room.
