Trying to find a couch in DC Crate and Barrel outlet
Transcript
All right, a lot of you recommended I go to Crate and Barrel outlet here in Alexandria. I'm still looking for a couch here in DC, and I'm really excited about this stop. I have hope. I really love these chairs out here. Oh, this one's lovely. So this is an outlet store, 129. That's really good. That's really nice, too. Really nice. Ooh, I'm feeling really good. I don't want to jinx it. I actually really love this. All right, then they have some other things. This is cute, super dirty. This is, oh damn, this is sold. I saw this on their Instagram, although it might be broken, but it's really cute. This is nice. Little recliner. Take an additional 25% off all furniture. They have nice stuff here. Look at all this. I really like these lanterns and I really like all these, like, these are planters, I think, but I feel like they would be cool as bowls. They're really cool. This vase is so cute. That's adorable for 23. I love these little kiwi birds. Those are adorable. These are cute. These are like little New York City. See, this is the ideal mirror size. Here's what I'm wearing today. Not super cute, but that's okay. It's hot. When it's hot, I get a pass to not look my best. Okay, I'm so sad because I think this couch is sold and I think this couch would have been perfect. I adore it. I love it. But the pillows are down and there's no price tag on it. Okay, so apparently it's not sold, but the pillows are just gone. Two back pillows, which is very unfortunate, because that would be nearly impossible to fix, but I do love that couch. I also really like these, but Killian doesn't love those. And they have an extra 20% off all furniture right now, which is pretty good. All right, well, we left because basically the two big pillows on the back of the couch are MIA. And if we can't get those, then there's no point getting this couch. Also, the couch is really big, like it will take up most of our space. But I also love a couch. We would love a couch that people could sleep on if they come visit. It's definitely that. And they did find an ottoman to go with it, which is nice, but also takes up even more space. So they're going to call us and let us know if they can find those back pillows. It almost feels like a sign because this couch is like the retreat couch from Crate and Barrel, which is highly, highly reviewed and was one that I was looking at. And I love the color. Like it almost feels like a sign, like it's meant to be. And it's at the outlet, so we wouldn't have to wait months and months for a couch. But if they don't find those pillows, then that would be unfortunate. So we'll see.
