and I have an Amish furniture ordering addiction.
Mr. Pants and I went back to the same place where we ordered our dining room table (and bar stools...and end tables) to order a buffet stand thing. We received it today, and it's beautiful.
THEN Mr. Pants went back out with the delivery guy and pulled a freaking ENTERTAINMENT STAND out of the back. He had been talking about replacing it because at this point all our wood furniture downstairs is the same, with the exception of our IKEA TV stand. I've been all, "Whatevs...we'll get to it," but apparently he took it upon himself to order it. It's beautiful as well, of course.
I am definitely not complaining, but this is one of those things where I think we have a role reversal going on, because I'll keep something until it's broken, and H is all, "NEED ALL THE NEW THINGS!"
ETA: I just noted to H the only things I buy behind his back are clothes and makeup for me
And this is why I avert my eyes when driving through my little town - there's Amish furniture stores everywhere, and I know I'd come home with half the store!

This is my H, too. It drives me crazy! The other night I caught him looking at mid century buffets and new couches online. Dude, we're about to have another baby. Why the fuck would we buy a new couch right now, just in time for another tiny person to shit, puke, and pee all over it?
I don't know! We kind of stumbled upon this store. Each piece we've ordered is custom - we pick the wood type, stain, handles, etc. The store we've worked with is awesome. The end tables we had ordered weren't exactly what I wanted (they had rounded edges, LOL) and they took them back and ordered what we wanted.
I have joked to my H right before we pass, someone's going to slip in and put Post-its on all of this furniture. LOL.
