My good friend Helen recently purchased a new dining room suit, which has given me the itch to do the same. We currently lack a dining room suit because we knew we wouldn’t be in this apartment very long. We didn’t want to buy a lot of furniture, only to have to move it down 4 flights of stairs and into a new place.

Now that our lease is almost up, I’ve been looking around in some of the local stores. This is rarely fun for me because I hate being pestered when I’m trying to make decisions and let’s face it, buying furniture is a big decision. I have a hard enough time choosing styles and colors, so it can get really frustrating trying to choose those things when a floor salesman/woman is following me around.

I’m glad there’s a stress-free alternative. I can shop for dining room furniture, or any furniture at that, without being hassled into buying something I really don’t like or something extra, that I really don’t need. Plus, I can do it in the comfort of my own home, whether it’s day or night, rain or shine.

This is the kind of shopping I love to do, stress-free.
