Happy New Year!! Hopefully you didn’t party too much last night.
During my 2014 Christmas home tour I shared my new white sectional, but I didn’t share much of the background story with you. For months I had been thinking about getting a new sectional. When it comes to furniture, I’m always shy to pull the trigger. I don’t know why. It’s just the way I’m wired. But when Kris at Junk Chic Cottage emailed me and asked if I wanted to buy her beautiful white sectional, I didn’t want to miss the opportunity!
I’ve always admired Kris’ sectional and she posted it for sale on her blog.
When it comes to furniture, I sort of need it to fall in my lap.
Otherwise I get cold feet and stick with what I’ve got.
I asked Kris to send me the dimensions, thinking it probably wouldn’t fit in my family room.
But the size was just perfect and I couldn’t pass up something that fell into my lap.
Here’s what my family room looked like last year about this time.
The love seat and chairs just didn’t provide enough seating.
Kris’ sectional better suits our needs and I told her YES!
So we arranged a time to pick the furniture up at her house.
Kris lives about an hour away and I was excited to finally meet her! She gave me a full tour of her beautiful home, which I’ve featured in my Charming Home Series. You wouldn’t think it’s possible, but her home looks even prettier in person than it does in photos.
I hope Kris doesn’t miss her old sectional, because I’m sure enjoying it.
I need to get a few more pillows for it.
The coffee table is my childhood toy chest built by my dad. I painted it white.
My little fern plant sits on the coffee table with vintage bottles.
When it comes to bottles, the crustier the better.
I found this one in an unused farmer’s field.
Also on the chest is a collection of vintage books and more old bottles.
I don’t know what it is about old bottles that tug on my heart strings.
The same with old books. There’s just something about them.
I love my new white sectional and am so happy Kris reached out to me!
Wishing all of you a Happy New Year!!
Hi! I'm Jennifer and I'm happy to have you here! I live where the suburbs meet the country, which affords me the best of both worlds. Come along on my journey where I share decorating, cooking, gardening and more as it relates to both city and rural life. 
Wow, the sectional looks amazing in your home and it’s so inspiring that you bought it from a fellow blogger. Happy New Year.

Ha, before I read a word, I saw the picture of the sectional, Jennifer, and thought that looks just like Kris’ sectional. : ) How wonderful it has found a new home with you! It looks great and definitely seems to fit that spot perfectly.
I absolutely LOVE it !!!!!!! I bet it so comfortable, and it looks awesome…..I think it looks better than the love seat and chair…and the blue accents are the icing on the cake !!!!! Now I want one !!!!!

Thank you, and a happy new year to you.
I love the old bottles, too. I wonder if there’s a book about why we love what we love. Best wishes in the new year.
I love i! The ruffles really give it that shabby chic look. And, it fits your space beautifully. This is shaping up to a great year already.
Lucky you, it looks beautiful in your space and Kris is a wonderful friend 🙂
Oh my goodness….it looks absolutely perfect in your home, Jennifer! I LOVE it! I keep throwing the idea around of having a sectional in my living room, but the space is small, so I don’t know if it would take up too much room. But I sure adore it in your home! It must have been so much fun meeting Kim and seeing her home. Great way to start out the new year, girlie!

I think the sectional is one of the best furniture inventions. Yours is so pretty and perfect for your farmhouse, and I know how much you’ll enjoy it.
I love the way you decorated the new furniture with pillows and throws. It looks absolutely great in that room!
The sectional is gorgeous. Where did Kris get it?
I spotted this pin on Pinterest and knew right away that this used to be Kris’s sectional! You were so blessed to get it and it looks absolutely beautiful in your living room…just beautiful! So glad I happened upon your blog….I’ll definitely be checking back when I have more time.
