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!

Little treasures

I was lucky enough to receive a gift card from Freedom for my birthday recently.  Yesterday, I got to put it through it's paces.  Here are some pictures of what I came home with.

All from here

I also got quite a few Christmas decorations that I'll photograph during the week and post.  After the purchases on the weekend, I think navy and red have won in the accent colour arena.

If you've started holidays, like we have, I hope you didn't cop any 'I'm boooooored's today.  I'm so pleased that we managed the first day without hearing that phrase!

New sofa love - The One

So, it turns out that my sofa disappointment was short lived.  I managed a solo visit to Freedom today (unheard of!) and came across the Sitta modular sofa.

It looks a lot deeper in real life, which is what we're after.  The dimensions are perfect.  The armless section can be positioned on either side of the main sofa, making it very versatile.  The price is doable, too.  (The best news of all).  The fabric we choose will more than likely be different to the example above, but I'm pretty confident that this new find is 'The One'.

I've also started working on a sofa table design, that Husband has agreed to build.  Sooooo excited.  I'll share the design with you once it's drawn up properly.

Hope you've all had a great weekend!!
