Hey Pier 1, You Really Pissed Me Off.

Well, we're in the house, at least all of the boxes are. We got the last bit of items out of the condo earlier today and are officially completely in our new home. It's a good feeling except for the fact that boxes are everywhere. I don't feel like we are getting too far with the decor aspect either. This may not be to "womanly"of me but i despise decorating and shopping for the house. Maybe it's because we aren't having great luck, you should see the pile of returns we have to Home Depot.

One thing that has gone semi-okay was the purchase of some chairs for our living room. I found this beauty at Pier 1.

It honestly looks 10000x better in person, it's a burnt orange color which will look killer in our living room. I really wanted two of them since I'm the queen of being cohesive, but hubby insisted on getting another chair with an ottoman {as i refuse to purchase a recliner}. So, we found this one also from Pier 1 in a color called Cinnabar which is the perfect match for the other burnt orange in the chair we loved- and comes with an ottoman.. or so we thought!

Here's where things went south. The girl helping us at Pier 1 didn't check stock in the system. While we already knew it wasn't in the store and would have to be ordered, the chair and ottoman were discontinued. We managed to get the chair, but no ottoman. So here I sit on a Saturday night calling Pier 1 stores around the country in search of the damn ottoman. This sucks! Looks like we may get a leather one that matches the color of the couch.
