This weekend, we got a new couch. We’d needed it for a long time {the leather was peeling off of ours every single day} &had been looking forward to it for a long time. We put it off for awhile in favor of upgrading and replacing our electronic devices {not always by choice- shattered phones, missing pieces, etc. all happened at once} but the time had finally come that we just couldn’t stand it anymore &we went to pick one out. We ordered it right after Christmas & while we did everything we should have and brought a tape measure, etc., it still surprised me just how big it was when it showed up on Sunday. Very quickly, our new couch purchase turned into a huge room makeover project!
First, we headed to the store to pick up some furniture. We got a bookcase & a new cube organizer for toys, which Justin will be building after work today. This room makeover is going to be causing furniture in three different rooms to be swapped out, so it’s becoming a huge project!
While we were out, since Shane was with Justin’s parents, we decided to do a little more window shopping. The TV we have in our living room now is great, but Justin has been wanting something bigger {who doesn’t want a bigger TV?}. We’d been looking online throughout the holiday season due to all the sales going on, but as much as I love online shopping, you just can’t buy a TV online. It’s something you have to go check out in-store, like in Best Buy’s Showroom!
We are no strangers to Best Buy’s Showroom. Our love of Best Buy dates way back to when we started dating in high school almost ten years ago- Justin &I would spend our date nights checking out the latest offerings because we were too young to do anything else for fun. Between his love of building computers, my love of all things appliance, &our shared love of movies & TV, we tend to spend far too much time at Best Buy!
Back in the summer, when our air conditioner blew & it was over 110 degrees outside, we all stayed at my in-laws’ house. To make us more comfortable, they went out & purchased a TV {they’d been thinking about it anyway, but their timing was appreciated!} from Best Buy. The quality was phenomenal & much better than any TV I’d watched, and when we found out how much they spent on it, we went & bought it for our room at home. Because of Best Buy’s Low Price Guarantee, they really do offer the absolute best buys!
So this weekend when we were checking out the selection, we shouldn’t have been as surprised as we were, but really- the prices were ridiculously cheap. They had all kinds of TV’s, too, including the 4K TV that Justin has been “visiting” every time we find ourselves in Best Buy. Not only do they have a wide variety of TV’s, but they have an entire selection of accessories. When we were there, they told us all about their services, including delivery, set up, mounting services, and even recycling! Justin’s really great with technology so he could easily set up a new TV- but knowing that they will take your old TV to recycle it both makes my life easier &makes me immensely happy.
We walked out empty-handed this time {except for a few Blu-ray’s to enjoy on that TV upstairs when I’m stuck in bed with a nursing baby later this month} but that wasn’t because we didn’t find anything we liked- it’s because we just bought a couch, a bookcase & a toy organizer. That said, we were pleasantly surprised by how great the options were &we look forward to going back soon to complete our living room transformation with a new TV!

What electronic would you most like to upgrade in your home?
i like best buy. they have some many electronics to choose from, but sometimes the prices arent the best. they do have some great deals sometimes though. i like going there and just looking and playing with the all the electronics.
Nice couch–I can see why you need a bigger TV to go with it!
Fortunately for me, the nearest Best Buy is about an hour away, because if it was closer I’m sure we’d end up spending a lot of money there. We’re not really in the market for any new electronics just now, but that wouldn’t stop us from temptation, I”m sure.
We actually need a new TV. We will be looking at Best Buy, too!
We really need to upgrade our DVD player – we got a free one when we bought our TV a number of years ago, but it’s defective and skips a lot of the discs. Since we need a 3D enabled one because we have the whole 3D set up, we’ve been putting off getting a new one and just use the PS3 instead.
We would love to upgrade our TV to a larger screen that can be wall mounted!
Love your new couch! We just got one too from an interior designer.
We need to upgrade our desktop computer.
We would like to get a tv that is a little bigger.
Tough question – I really could use both a new dishwasher and a new oven.
My nephew is wanting a 60″ tv and I think this is exactly where he plans on going.
I think getting a new tv would be awesome. Ours is still really nice and new, but it seems like they have some good add ons to tvs these days!!
I love best buy and the Pixar Short Films Bluray is a steal!
My husband loves Best Buy. He is like a kid in the candy store every time we go there. We just bought a DVD player for my mom from them for Christmas. We love their rewards program also.
Hmm, I think I’d like to upgrade our entertainment system to enjoy Blu-ray! BTW, love the sofa. We just got ours yesterday!
We want to upgrade our tv in our living room.
We’re actually in the market for a new tv – ours is older than our relationship which means OLD lol We go to Best Buy for our electronic purchases too
That is a beautiful sectional! I love the color. I also love the pillows.
As for electronics, I really don’t want to upgrade anything (I’m not much of a techie, lol). However, I wouldn’t mind getting a TV for the kids room so my son will stop hogging up the TV to play video games in the living room. 🙂
We just upgraded our tv right before christmas. We got it at Best Buy!
I would love to upgrade my tv in my bedroom for a smart tv!
I am in the market for a new TV and will be stopping into Best Buy soon.
Your new sofa is GORGEOUS! OHMYGOSH. We bought a new one recently too for the same reason. Our 3 year YOUNG leather blend sofa was peeling. It happened fast thanks to our pick-happy 2 year old, and we just couldn’t deal with it anymore. Our new sofa is small and uncomfortable, so I’m going to move in with you, OK? OK.
Anyways, I love that 4K TV too. Maybe if I move in we can go halvsies on it? #client
I want to upgrade my TV soon, and Best Buy is where I’ll go.
My son still has an older tube TV in his room that I’d like to upgrade soon and I would really like to splurge on a surround sound system before next football season begins! I have always appreciated the extended warranties Best Buy offers on their products.
Best Buy is such a great choice to find the best selection of TV’s. And the Geek Squad installation is a must! I hope the rest of your room makeover goes okay. Good luck! #client
