If you follow me on Instagram you probably saw my new couch debacle that took place yesterday. If you don’t, then here it is in a nutshell. It’s literally so ridiculous that it is really funny.
We’ve wanted a new couch for a while. On Tuesday night Tom found one at Value Village. A really nice one. One that after we researched the designer and similar models show that they are being sold on Wayfair for $4000-$5000, so he bought it because it was $100.
On Thursday he went with a friend to pick it up and bring it over, but first, they swung by to pick up our old one and drop it off at the Value Village at the same time as picking up the new one.
It didn’t fit through our door. Not even close because of the ornate wooden frame around the couch. It was like the Pivot scene from Friends.
Really funny, kind of defeating, and now we don’t have a f**king couch. The living room now consists of an ottoman, the new-old yellow chair, and the oversized pillows that were on our old couch.
Always figure out the logistics first folks. Measure EVERYTHING, not only measure the door frame but also the hallway and ceiling height if you live in an apartment building or condo. And never ever donate your old couch until your new couch is sitting in your living room.
I bought myself this to commemorate the Pivot moment 😉 Actually, I bought it because I saw it on the UK site a few weeks back and said if they got it on the US/Canada site I would buy it immediately, so I did.
I want to put it above my desk. Now all I need is the Friends Central Perk Lego set.

Pivot, pivot, pivot. Second only to “it’s a moo point” (my personal all-time favorite quote, and the sign I need in my life). Ah, the memories. Thank you for that, Sara.
I am SO sorry about the sofa disappointment. Did you have to find it a new home? Or is it residing in the hallway outside your front door? Hope that otherwise, all is well with you guys.
You’ve got a mighty fine collection here. I’m really enjoying checking it all out.
Cheers, Ardith
I can’t get enough of Friends. It’s my go-to. I’ve watched it a ridiculous amount of times.
As for the sofa, we sold it to Tom’s coworker. He has a big home and area to get it in. Right now it’s just a chair and pillows here which is so weird, but definitely roomy 😆
I hope you are well.
