Now that the new living room furniture is in place, it was time to start shopping for coffee tables. Ours are old and mismatched and bear too many dings and cat scratches to be serviceable.

After our nightmare replacement of windows, and doors, and floors…. I thought this would be a breeze. I didn’t want anything special, just one rectangle for in front of the couch and two square side tables in a medium wood finish. Drawers or no drawers. Stylish or plain. Traditional or modern.

I was leaving my husband at home… so I knew finding something to please me would be much quicker.

I just wanted something simple.

Something that didn’t look like a metal suitcase…

Or a canoe.

After five furniture stores…

I came to the conclusion nothing is easy anymore.
