Our new sofa and love seat! They really are the same color, I promise! We agonized over the color, went to lots of stores, and then ended up buying the very first sofa we sat on – at La-Z-Boy, back in the first couple weeks of June! 
We should have just gone with our first instinct right away!
We don’t like the pillows that they came with so we’re currently working on buying fabric to make new covers. You can see our top two options. Here they are with the orange wall – it’s tough to find something that goes with the green and the orange!
I think we’re going to go with the stripes nearest the orange wall. It matched the green of the couches better.

And in other news…
I have ringworm, AGAIN!! So frustrating. And because I didn’t post a picture of my disgusting leg last fall, here’s a picture of my disgusting left forearm now. We’re currently worried that Nik is going to get it too because it’s contagious. Yucky. I think the kids at church summer camp (where I taught piano classes – me being the expert piano player and all) gave it to me. Oh well. I’m on antibiotics too, because it looked a little bit infected.
And finally…
here’s a couple pictures of the new and improved corner cupboards in the dining room. We have the glass cupboard (with Papa and Granny’s sugar and creamer) and the china cupboard. Fun!
Salmon and Souvlaki 
Your corner cupboards are wonderful – what a great way to have storage and be able to see your nice things too. Your new couches are very nice and a brilliant way to tone down the pumpkin pie wall – no, it’s actually a little brighter than pumpkin pie, isn’t it? Anyway, the coordinating fabric is great – well done! I’m glad you have Mom and Dad’s sugar and creamer set. I know you will treasure it as it should be treasured!
Man…you guys have been crazy busy!
I was always terrified of getting ringworm when I was wrestling…that really stinks that you caught it again.
