Cheesecake Factory and more

Today we spent the day shopping and laughing. 

We started out with a fresh cup of coffee from Cool Beans and headed down the road to Avon Commons to our first stop - Ethan Allen.  We walked through the entire store twice and finally I found a couch I liked though they didn't have many samples in leather or a leather that I liked?  Once we found a sales person she was able to help me put together some different configurations of pieces.  I couldn't decide if I wanted two loveseats, a sofa and loveseat or a sofa and a chair and a half.  After getting all the measurements and prices I decided I would make some templates once I got home and to lay out the different sizes in my room.  Since now I have a loveseat and chair and a half with an ottoman I was pretty sure I wanted something different.  after my mom and I moved the templates around I'm pretty sure I'm going to order the sofa and chair with ottoman in leather.  My mom and I are going to go back next week to put in the order.

Then we went to Crocker Park and headed to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch!  It was wonderful and we finished the meal off with a peanut butter cheesecake we split 3 ways.

After walking through Crocker Park we headed into Arhaus Furniture... Oh we found LOTS of stuff in there!!! 

I think I want a new dinning room set now too!  So many cool tables and chairs.  Right now they are doing a treasure box that you get a choice of two keys and if your key opens the treasure box you get to pick out a prize.  We let my mom pick the key and if the key opened the box we could all pick a prize.  The key she picked opened the treasure box and we all picked out $25 gift cards that were good until April... yeah, right - we are going to wait until April...

My mom ordered chairs for her kitchen and Deb and I found something little to spend our $25 on.

I loved this chair from the moment we walked in but couldn't decide just how I could decorate with it.  Now I have $25 to spend and the chair was $39.00 so now its only $14.00...

I love my new chair and can picture it on my fireplace ledge with a plant or some type of decoration... I'll be sure to photograph it when it finds its home.

Once I get my furniture for my family room paid for I'm saving for a new dinning room table!  There were so many neat styles to choose from.  But I need to work on one thing at a time!

Still thinking about a color for the room though???
