New furniture

We finally broke down and bought new furniture, a couch and coffee table. The coffee table I gave to one of my reporters who had just moved and was furnishing a new apartment. The couch we donated to Turning Point, an outreach organization for battered women seeking shelter from abusive relationships.

Here's a photo of the new couch. It's red, people! A nice change from the beige ones we'd been considering. We normally don't let Winchell up on the couch because she sheds so much, but for the purposes of modeling, you can see we made an exception. Normally we don't let John on the couch much either. Hee hee.

The coffee table is also a big departure. It's round, not rectangular, but that actually works better in the room, since the dimensions of the room are kind of narrow. It makes it easier to navigate without barking one's shins on a corner of the table.
