Remember a few years ago when Stephanie gave us her son's old "road carpet"? She loves to pass on her old stuff to us, and it's usually great...Polo shirts, Pokemon figures and paraphernalia, but today she outdid herself--with furniture. Today we inherited her son's very very very expensive loft.
It's actually a double-loft (goes in an L-shape), but we opted to just put up one section of it, partially for the sheer size of it, and partially because we could only figure out a few ways to position it and all those ways involved a portion of it sitting directly under the ceiling fan and it didn't seem worth the weekly scalpings I was imagining. So the remaining section is stored under the guest bed and we'll pull it out one day when we have a bigger better house.
As I said, it belonged to Stephanie's son. She bought it a few years back and then he immediately grew 15 inches and now it's too small for him to sleep on. So it's on loan to us indefinitely--probably until she needs it back for grandchildren, which I hope for her sake is a LONG time from now considering her son is only a freshman in high school. Anyway, the thing cost like $1,500 so it was too expensive to get rid of and we're happy to "store" it for them.
Plus I talked to my dad today and he told me that they've removed their dishwasher and it's ready for us to pick up. I LOVE that dishwasher because it's so quiet you really can't even tell when it's on, so it's a good month for us!
