First – Make Caramelized Fennel & Date Chicken Sausage, Second – Buy a Couch
So after I made all this goodness I went down a Pinterest/ interior design RABBIT HOLE. Ya know the feeling? We have been in our house for about a month and a half and have been obviously VERY focused on the kitchen! We have bee using my parents old brown couch which has been fabulous but I have been dying to get our living room looking more like our own. So we bought a couch!!! I have been on the lookout for a big gray sectional for under a grand for months and this last weekend I looked at Living Spaces to see if they had any sales. Then I saw they had a new couch I had never seen and it was in budget!! Monday we went to the store to test it out and LOVE it!! Win win win. We now have to wait for 2 weeks for it to arrive! And as much as i am now already dying to get a rug for under it, I am embracing living in the moment and joy that we will soon have this super comfy couch that is contributing to our new home! I can’t wait to show you pictures of the whole whole renovation soon, but for now, just follow along on instagram to see the progress!
