So I moved onto the sun room recently and was on an intense hunt for a couch, but not just any couch... an outdoor couch. Because that room isn't temperature controlled, I wanted something sturdy, yet cozy, but still trendy... kind of like me. Okay, so I digress..
Anyway, during the onset of my search, I only had only two options - 1) cheap, patio-like furniture that looked more like a park bench than a cozy couch or 2) entirely too expensive, chic outdoor seating that cost more than the "real" couch in our family room.
But then I found IT - the exact kind of couch I wanted at the exact price I had in mind. I got it online at... wait for it... Walmart.com.
I know, I know, either you're gasping in shock that I would find something legit enough at Walmart or you're gasping in shock that I would buy something that is only reasonably priced because of child labor. I get it. But I searched high and low and Walmart was the only source that had the full package I was looking for. Do you forgive me? Maybe you'll feel better if you see it...
So here is the couch assembled "as-is" before I accessorized it (those pillows came with it):
(BIG shout out to the hubs for putting it together... it took him two hours of sweating and swearing to assemble this bad boy.)
And here it is with some finishing touches from a successful trip to Homegoods:
And here is the view of the couch from the family room... because the rooms are attached, I wanted to have a color flow. The patterns and textures I used in the sun room are more "rustic" and natural, but their colors flow with the colors in the family room, so it really visually extends the entire living space.
Ah, success. And who would have thought this room would be inspired by Walmart... now if you excuse me, I need to go make a donation to "save-the-children."
