Uruguay Farm Photo #24: Living Room (As Is)

by Maya on March 4, 2010

Uruguay living room furnitureThis is where we spend most of our time when we’re not outside.  We picked up the couch and two chairs for $75 from Julio, the guy in Nueva Helvecia who sells old furniture from his garage.  We’ve been waiting for the remate (auction) season to start–that’s where people buy furniture here in Uruguay.  Our first local auction is this weekend.  In the meantime, we make do.  Note the backseat of the Mehari put to use as a coffee table.  The House Hunters International people would have been truly horrified.

I’m quite sure that that couch used to live in my parent’s basement 45 years ago. Oh no, wait, it couldn’t be the same one – that one’s still there! Enjoying your ingenuity and the sharing of this adventure of yours, Maya! Thanks!
