I furnished the majority of my living room from Bob’s. The sectional is massive (and cute!), has two chaises (so I can stop fighting with my boyfriend over who gets to lounge), and it’s so comfortable that I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve fallen asleep on it.
Oh, and it was $1400.
If I had read some of the online reviews beforehand, you would’ve thought they would have delivered a shredded sectional 863 days late that smelled of insecticides. That is to say, you can’t believe everything you read. While I can’t vouch for every single piece of furniture from Bob’s, I can vouch for the pieces that I have bought. And, unless you plan on taking a drill and hammer to your furniture on the daily, I have found over the years, that Bob’s furniture tends to hold up quite well to everyday wear and tear.
So, here is my shameless plug for all the pieces in my living room from Bob’s:
The Cottage Chic 3-Piece Sectional ($1400.00) – Farmhouse lovers delight. Comes in a variety of configurations to fit your space.
Delfina Natural Round Ottoman ($159.99) – It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s an ottoman, it’s a table. Okay so it’s not the first two, but this thing is large and firm enough to serve as both an ottoman and a coffee table once you put a tray on top of it. It’s also plenty sturdy to hold your average adult if you need extra seating.
Kona Weathered Black 60″ TV Console ($299.00) – More weathered and rustic charm because who likes new things anyways? It comes in three colors and if you stay tuned, I’ll show you in a later post on how I styled it to not look like one giant black hole beneath the TV.
Modern Farmhouse Floor Lamps ($88.66/each)
While inexpensive, stylish furniture abounds these days with the advent of online furniture shopping, most will require a good portion of your sanity in assembly. I’m all for putting together the odd bookshelf or night stand, but the thought of assembling a twelve-foot, two-hundred-and-forty-eight-pound sectional was not on high on my priority list. Similarly, by the time I had enough energy to dedicate towards choosing a TV stand, I had about zero willpower left to assemble it. Bob’s, while being discounted, still offers assembly services at reasonable rates so I can go back to spending two hours on configuring the throw pillows on my sectional rathering than the sectional itself.
Maybe I inspired you to go browse the fluorescent-lit warehouse of your local Bob’s, maybe I didn’t. Either way, I hope this goes to show that sometimes, you can have your cake and eat it, too. Stay tuned for tips on how I styled all my Bob’s finds!

Can you kindly share where you got the floor lamps or description so I can find something similar please. We are furnishing our first home and would love something like these. Thank you in advance!
Hi Yvette! Absolutely – I just updated my post to include the link to the exact lamps I bought. Let me know if you have any other questions and congratulations on your first home!
