Administrative Decision

In our new house, we will have a 3 season room. We are looking forward to this addition to living space, easy access to the hot tub and pool we will be acquiring and the ability to enjoy the landscaping and privacy of our new yard while still having shelter from rain, excessive sun, and mosquitoes. But, since we have never had this type of living space before we, of course, do not have furniture to furnish it. Certainly we do not want to have a vacant 3 season room until we decide what to do in there yet, we also don't want to spend an arm and a leg to pick up a piece or two to put in there. David and I thought that we would be able to get a good deal on the end of season clearance sales but even though we were looking at items up to 50% off, the stores we *still* asking over $1,000 for a set!!!!........not happening!!! On top of that, the question would be, if we purchased something - how would we get it home?

While David was out of town and unavailable to contact an opportunity arose and I made an administrative decision. On craigslist.com I came across a 3 piece wicker set (see photo) for only $200! The stuff was in excellent condition, real wicker (not the resin wicker) and all I need is new cushions. And the best part is, I struck an agreement (long story) to have them deliver it to my house. So now, the 3 piece wicker set is sitting in my garage and waiting for the movers to transport it to our new address. Yep, one step closer to its new home......

This is a picture of our future 3 season room....
