It was officially "Mommy's treat" and sacred, but, alas, I bought myself a decent coffee pot and some flavored junk to go in them. I like your idea about the cinnamon or vanilla. About the reupholstery. I have never had a furniture budget. I got my first new couch after I had been married for 15 years. I just found stuff and reupholstered. My first attempts were kind of shotty, and even my latter attempts are not great. They are working, though. I did take one upholstery class in high school, and that gave me enough confidence to start attempting projects after I got married. Sounds crazy, but it works. So, sure, we could reupholster together. That was one of the first things we cut when the prices went up–Starbucks.
