Are you donating them? You might get enough tax credits to offset the price of the new furniture a bit.

A friend of mine who is an cat-lover and an interior designer once told me that brown microfiber is the most cat-friendly fabric you can own.

Some year when we finally get around to doing our living room
, I want to go with a sage green color.

We got black, this was of course.. pre-kitty. I was thinking what color would be best with cats.. With my crew I guess beige or grey. Actually Susie you have the same color combo as me- 2 black/whites, a orangie and gray tabby! If I just had all black cats I suppose black would have fine.

Lovely stuff, bear in mind that microfibre is a magnet for kitty fur! And can be a pain to clean, so get it scotchguarded and keep a tape roller or fur brush close at hand!

Awesome! I love the color- that's almost exactly what I want to get, if I can ever afford it
the chair is really pretty too
I have a coffee table that does the same thing, although I have too much stuff ON the coffee table to lft it
Congrats on your new purchases!

That's a good deal- did you get the furniture from Levins? that's where I got my bedroom set and had a similar no payment/interest plan....

the kits are absolutely fabulous! they are so tiny and precious
they've slept with me both nights already!! the 4th one, the one not related to Tig and Pandy is very scared right now so she'd sequestered in my room, hiding in the closet, but hopefully with time she'll grow to trust me
she's beautiful though, very soft long black-hair

Susie, I love the couches! They look alot like my couch, but mine is a sectional, and brushed suede, but it feels like micro fiber, and the cushions look so much like yours... I like the color, it's kinda like a mushroom color right? I'll have to upload some pics of my house... it's all leopard print & zebra stuff...

Susie, Did you notice in the fur pics thread, my couch with the Luckster sprawlled out on the back of it? The cushions are identical to yours... but I have the L shaped version... and mine is caramel colored. It's so easy to care for.... a baby wipe takes everything off!!! C'mon 30th!!! Susie needs a new set of sofas!!!

Rats!!!!
Jerry just called to say the furniture was delivered, and the coffee table is too big for our livingroom.............
I have to wait till I get home at 5 to see what can be done........I wonder if they would take it back or exchange it??
