Ikea dusk

Ikea dusk, originally uploaded by Cybergabi.

We went to go looking for sofas, but except for Kramfors which is only available in black and brown leather (not in red, like I want), all of their sofas are too soft and the sitting height too low.

Tomorrow I will show Jaap the sofa I saw at Metz the other day. It’s more than twice as expensive, and it has 10 weeks delivery time instead of three, but it’s made in Holland (thus I would strengthen the Dutch economy if I bought it) and it seems really robust, has an incredibly buttery red leather option, a nice design, and seems to be friendly to your back too. I’m gonna spend big time for that move, that’s for sure. The parquet guy will come on Monday to show his samples. He’s not cheap either, although in comparison to the others I was looking at it will be a bargain. It’s really exciting to furnish a new apartment.

Other than that we spent 70 Euro on sweet little nothings, like a new bathroom carpet, a cutlery drying thingie and a spice rack for Jaap’s place, a shampoo rack and two plug-in lamps for my new apartment, a couple of coat hangers and three jars of their lemon herring which I heart.

Thank god it’s Friday.
