Thrifty Dragonfly's Profile

I was 22 and used my tax return to buy a $500 sofa. I learned one mega-huge important thing with this purchase - the salesman/store wasn't able to show me a sample of the color of the item I was ordering, but gave me a "it's similar to this item's color" and compared it to an item from a different manufacturer. The color was NOT similar. At all. In the least bit.

I've learned how to make slip-covers for it, because it's a slightly unique shape also. I've also learned that green is not as universal as once thought.

Just a couple months ago, I made my second purchase (not counting electronics like TVs) with my boyfriend - we went and purchased a huge bedroom set, complete with a four-poster bed, a nightstand, dresser, chest, and desk. HUGE purchase, I paid less for my car than I did for this room. But oh my god how I love it. It's so gorgeous. And it fits. And it's amazing. My next focus is my dining room, but first I have to find a home with a dining room worth shopping for.
