We are on the lookout for a new corner sofa. we have had our current sofas for nearly 6 years and although “my” sofa still looks good as new, David’s is looking a little tired to say the least! Anyway I have looked into having them re-upholstered but it will cost about £2000 and “loose” covers will be about £1000!!!!! So now we have decided to buy a new corner unit which is what I’ve wanted for ages and one would fit in our lounge so well. Firstly the fabric has to be charcoal grey and second we both have to agree on it…..we could be here for quite some time!! The top sofa is the “Charles” by B&B Italia which is just beyond words, it’s perfect BUT we went to view one about eighteen months ago in london and David said it was the most uncomfortable thing he had ever had the misfortune of sitting on! There is also the small matter of the £8000 plus price tag! The second one down is the “Dadone” which again is made by B&B Italia…very nice. The third beauty was designed by Terrence Woodgate and is absolutely gorgeous and apparently very comfortable ( again very expensive!). Now to the fourth and fifth specimens, I came across the “Jasper” and “Woodgate” yesterday by a company called “Love your home for less” based in london and I’m liking what I see, both are available in charcoal grey (YAY!!), both are very reasonably priced , available in lots of different configurations AND David likes them also!!! We are off to London next week for a couple of days so hopefully we will be able to see them in the flesh ( or fabric). Could one of these two beauties be “the one”???……
Grey
I have been painting the spiral staircase which leads up to the loft….OMG it takes forever and it will need 2 coats! Eventually it will be ripped out and replaced with another one but for now we will have to make do with a paint job ( I don’t like it and it has seen better days, it actually isn’t made that well). The grey paint matches the flooring I’m having very well.
Oh what to do!? I have to get my studio/loft finished, it’s ridiculous that I’m not up there yet so I need to make a decision on what flooring to have! I’ve always liked the vinyl flooring shown above so I ordered these samples yesterday which arrived earlier today. I really like the dark grey (middle) but I also like the “greige” colour on the left but then again I like the white……Hmmmmm. The space is painted all white and I do like the idea of it being all white……
Samples were ordered from Jaymart.
