Although my quick camera phone picture doesn’t do it justice, this is my sister’s new couch. My sister and her fiance are moving into a new 1 bedroom apt in a week and they needed a new couch. I had mentioned that if they were able to buy a pull out couch they would have somewhere for people to stay if they were staying over. The next day my mother and I found this adorable little sleeper sofa at one of our favorite thrift shops for $39.95. My sister went back and bought it and the store was even kind enough to hold it for her until the day they move so they will have the Uhaul to transport it. It even matches the pattern on their dining room chairs.

I highly recommend that anyone looking for furniture at least browse their local thrift / resale shops before spending a lot of money. A lot of older pieces are really well made and have a lot of character or can be refinished.
