#THECOATSHOME: NEW FURNITURE

Our new furniture delivered last week and we are loving it all.

Small note: Our house is a construction zone right now with all the painting we are trying to do right now, so just ignore the painters tape, patchy walls, clutter, and drop cloths!

First stop is the kitchen. We decided to order a new dining set. Matthew just wasn't happy with our old one and wanted something that was higher quality and that didn't wobble (I may or may not have accidentally sanded one of the legs a little too much)

It is a creamy white with brown on the top. Similar to our old one but a lot nicer. We also decided to go with the round table this time. Matthew has been wanting a round table for a long time. 

Also, check out the gray paint on that half wall!! :)

Next stop is Matthew's study. This is on your right when you walk through the front door. Matthew has talked about owning a desk like this for years, and I mean YEARS. After he gets home in the evenings he has to do a little work every now and then, but during busy season he has to work a lot, and the kitchen table just wasn't cutting it. Now he doesn't have to move everything when it's time for dinner! He picked this desk out a few months ago and we've been swooning over it every since.

This is the view from the front door. Just ignore that big ole patch on the dining room wall...removing wallpaper is no joke.

And the view from the top of the stairway. I love walking over to the top of the stairs and looking down to see him working away.

Final stop is the guest bedroom...this is will be our Tennessee room. Matthew actually picked out this bedroom set and I was 100% shocked. I love the rustic wood look but Matthew has never really been a fan of any type of rustic look, so when he kept talking about this one I was one happy wife. We both agreed this would work perfectly with our Tennessee theme we want going on in here...eventually!

Also, we bought a solid navy comforter for the bed we just hadn't put it on there before I made pictures.

We went for the night stands that had only one drawer so that I can put a small basket on the little shelf of things for our guests. I felt like they would feel more comfortable taking something out of a basket rather than opening and going through the drawers. 

I can't get over how much I love this bedroom set. 

Sorry for all the pictures, I just LOVE all the details of this furniture.

#CoatsApartment: Our new furniture!

I am finally sharing with y'all a little tour of our apartment with the furniture!! We came across a good deal that Matthew's parents told us about. Pretty much you can furnish a one bedroom home/apartment for a reasonable price. It's actually called "The big deal".  Here is what is included in that:

Includes 21 pieces:

• 7 Piece Living Room Set
  Includes sofa, loveseat, 3 tables and 2 lamps
  
  
• 7 Piece Bedroom Set
  Includes dresser, mirror, chest, queen headboard, footboard, rails and nightstand
  
  
• 5 Piece Dining Set
  Includes table and 4 side chairs
  
  
• 2 Piece Mattress Set
  Includes Queen Size Extra Plush mattress and box
• 
  

They have an online website we looked at first before going so we could kind of have an idea of what we were looking for. The store is pretty big and there is a lot of furniture to choose from but only certain pieces are included in "The big deal", and they have those all marked with a little tag to help out with that. Looking online and picking things out first definitely helped. We just went in there looked at it in person and tried out the couches to see if they were comfortable and then we were done! I have to be honest though, laying on the mattresses in the store both grossed me out and made me feel really awkward lol.  Living room This is the view when you walk in the door.

Ignore those cords, we still have some cord management to work on with everything! There is a white book case to the right of the fire place we plan on hiding those cords behind! I will update on that later lol.

The couches are a dark brown

Our end tables and coffee table might just be my favorite pieces of furniture, ever.

We were thinking about getting two couches instead of the couch and loveseat combo for more seating, but after we measured we realized we couldn't fit two couches. So couch and loveseat combo it was! I think it will be plenty of room though.

Dining Room  Walk right around the corner from the living room and you have our dining room!

 A simple black table with matching chairs. The chairs have a white cushion built into the seat which we LOVE. My dining set that I have at my apartment right now does not have cushions in the seats and can get a little uncomfortable after awhile.

There aren't any decorations up yet so the walls are really bare. Bedroom We found the bedding online at Bed Bath and Beyond and we both really liked it! We didn't want something too girly and we didn't want something that was too dark and looked like a guys comforter. So when I found this I really liked it and emailed Matthew the link and he liked it a lot too!

These two lamps were included in the deal and we put them in the bedroom since we got the other ones and they match the knobs on the furniture in there.

 There is a dresser and chest of drawers in there too, I don't know why I didn't think about making a picture of them lol. Like I said, I will update later!!

The furniture is not black like it looks in these pictures, it is a dark brown like the living room furniture. On the website it says "Dark Amber Finish" Here is the picture from the website that shows the color a little better.

And that's it! We love everything and I am dying to move in already!! Only 130 more days to go! Since we are on the third floor we paid to have it delivered. Matthew and I both agreed that was the best delivery fee we have EVER paid. I am SO excited to decorate, add some color in there, and make it ours!!

#CoatsApartment: Our new furniture!

"BABE I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE THIS RIGHT NOW!!!!"

The exact words out of my mouth when I walked into my new room at my apartment. Y'all...I still can't even believe it!!!! Let me back up and start from the beginning though. Tuesday I had my interview with Averitt. After my interview I told Matthew I wanted us to ride over to my apartment and look around my room (I am already planning how to decorate it) A little bit of our conversation on the way over there Me:  I have to find a chest of drawers soon, because I really need one for my room Matthew: Yeah, I know I will look for one this week Me: In the picture I saw my bed is like up leaning up against the wall, I wanna put it down and see what it's going to look like Matthew: Okay, we can do that **Matthew had already told me he wanted to get my furniture for my room and paint it and I had tried talking him out of it because I was afraid it would be too expensive but he wasn't changing his mind.** We get to the apartment and I was just walking around looking at the kitchen and stuff and I go to open my door and this is what I saw

"BABE I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE THIS RIGHT NOW" I honestly don't think I have ever been that surprised in my life...I immediately was running around trying to look at everything and of course asking about a million questions a minute trying to figure out how he did it all. That sneaky sneaky boyfriend of mine.... Sunday he and his family got the stuff and painted ALLLLL day last Monday (I thought it was kinda strange he didn't invite me over for their Memorial Day cookout) and on Monday night they drove up to Cookeville and set everything up for me.

Melt. My. Heart.

His parents picked out and bought the bed set for me and it matches everything perfectly and I  L-O-V-E it soooooo much!!!!! Matthew had picked out the colors himself (proud/impressed girlfriend over here) and they all worked their tails off getting everything finished in time for me to see it Tuesday after my interview. The T.V. stand he bought wooden knobs and painted them brown and put them on this and the chest of drawers

In love with my desk...isn't it just the cutest thing you ever did see?!

My chest of drawers

and on each side of the bed are two night stands he painted brown

 Still completely in shock!!

The bed set is absolutely B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L and fits me perfectly

I probably spent an hour just walking around and looking at it all and trying to figure everything out

here is a panorama view  Y'all Matthew is just THE sweetest guy I know and seeing him all excited to show me everything was probably the cutest thing ever, I STILL can't believe he did all that and was able to keep it a secret.  Hands down the best surprise from him so far.  A HUGE thank you times a million to my amazing boyfriend and his parents and big bro for helping him and doing all this for me!! I can't wait to move in and get to use it all!!!!
