Soooofa!

So, a friend came over today, and I introduced her to the new sofa.  'When did this arrive?' she asked.  'I haven't seen it on the blog!'

I laughed my little heart out!  It had arrived the weekend before, and in all the hoo-hah surrounding looking for a new car and electrical plans etc etc etc, I had forgotten all about it.

Dodgy iPhone pics, sorry.  I'm usually a better photographer than that!

As you can see, this sofa is veeeerry versatile and quite massive.  All five of us can LIE DOWN on it at the same time - love! The options are endless - double love!  I can't wait to get it into the new house and play around with it.

Now I just need to find some cushions to make it look more pretty.  The brown ones that came with it are dinky and dodgy, and must go!!!!

While I'm here, welcome to our newest follower.  We've hit the big 5-0, how very exciting!!  We hope you enjoy hanging out here, Melinda - the best is yet to come!

We did it! We bought a sofa!

After hours of intensive sofa testing, we made a purchase yesterday at Domayne.  Unfortunately, the Sitta at Freedom just didn't cut the mustard price and fabric-wise.  Anyhoo, good news, after all the sofa stress we had experienced here and here.  (I know, the important things in life, right?!)

So, this is what we bought...

The package we purchased comprises two x two seaters (one right arm, one left), one armless two seater and the ottoman you see on the right.  It gives us lots of options for comfy configurations - very helpful as we haven't determined our TV wall yet! - and fits all of us on it with room to spare.

It will take 12 - 14 weeks to be custom made, and we got a great saving so are really excited.

We also have been chatting with the builder and are getting closer to being issued a site start date.  Can you guess who is holding us up?  Our ever trusty and reliable b.a.n.k.  Seriously, I don't know how some people hold onto their jobs.  It's just one piece of paper, peeps!

We are just mooching around home this week, but every day feels like Sunday which is fantastic.  I hope you're having a lovely break (if you're lucky enough to be having one).

Hopefully next time I see you, we'll have that elusive site start date!
