An unexpected surprise

So as we have been getting ready for the big move coming up, Brandon and I have realized that we have absolutely nothing to furnish our new apartment. Right now we are subleasing from a couple who has been in Thailand working for the summer and they left all their furniture and kitchen stuff (appliances, plates, pots, pans) for us to use. It has been great to not have to worry about all that stuff right after we got married and to keep all our new stuff we got for our wedding packed away for easy transport.

For the past week we have been pricing furniture online but yesterday we thought we should just go out and look to see if we could see anything we liked. We went to Ashley Furniture (thanks Lindsey for the suggestion) and fell in love with one of the first bedroom sets we looked at. The funny thing is that we were not planning on buying anything! But to our surprise it was such a great deal we couldn't pass it up. We ended up buying a headboard, footboard, 2 night stands, dresser and mirror. Here are some pictures to give you an idea of what they look like.

Way Nice! Congrats! Now all you have to do is keep it in boxes until it's time to leave, right? Sweet. That is one of the things I look forward to the most- new furniture!!!

Your bedroom set is very nice! I love new furniture and getting into a new place all to yourselves! It's so exciting:) I hope you make a little video of your new place when it is all set up and post it on the blog.

Beautiful furniture! We have been very happy with our Ashley furniture. We're so excited for you to get settled into your new place. Hopefully we will be able to come visit some time. I wish we could transfer back up there to be closer to you. That would be too fun!

Nice furniture! It will be nice to have this in your new place. It is so much fun to pick our new things.

I'm not sure if you've already moved, but we found awesome deals at I.M. Home in Provo. We were able to find a microfiber couch and loveseat for only $800, so we picked up two!
