There's nothing like a piece of new furniture to show you how beat up your old furniture looks. How did I not notice how scratched the seats are...
...or how saggy the cushions are?
Thankfully, we are able to enjoy scratch-free and sag-less cushions once again due to the almost-new couch Toby snagged from a moving co-worker. It's exactly the same as the old one (did ya notice?), so at least we know it matches.
Now, if we can only keep the kids off it to prolong its life. It won't be long before it starts looking as worn as the old one, though. Until then, I think we'll switch couch positions in the room so that the first thing one sees isn't the beat-up version, but the newer model. Do "first impressions" apply to couches too? Well, just in case...

Nice. Has any kid climbed up and fallen over the rail yet? If mine were young i have a feeling ,....new couches are a big spirit lifter. Congrats!
Surprisingly, they haven't. There were some armchairs against the railing for a while and no accidents, so we figured the risk was fairly low. So far so good!
