Furniture need not be expensive!

I am all for having great looking and comfortable furniture inside and outside my home.  But it doesn't have to be expensive.  And particularly being a mum of 2 small boys who love to get into mischief, expensive furniture will only cause me a great deal of heart ache when one of them vomits on it!

We have in our family room two leather couches purchased through Plush (- think sofas!) and can I tell you, they have been amazing!  My boys have spilled things on numerous ocassions, used them as a trampoline and have constantly run their toys into them.  Plush Sofas are having an up to 60% off 'scratch & dent' sale for 2 days only, this coming weekend (26 & 27 November 2011).  So check them out!  To find your closest store, go to this link - Plush - store locator.

Another store worth a look is Aldi Supermarket.  Yes, I said Aldi Supermarket.  Keep a close eye on their weekly campaigns as more often than not they have soft furnishings and furniture for sale.  This week's campaign features outdoor goodies... in particular an outdoor setting which includes two armchairs, l 1arge 2-seater couch and coffee table.  So guess who now has this in their backyard?  And the price for the set - $399!  These only went on sale on Saturday 19 November, so if you're in luck, you're local Aldi store may still have them.  To find your nearest Aldi, check at Aldi - store locator.

Furniture does not need to be expensive but can still look and feel great.  And until such time as my boys move out of home, cheap is chic!
