Couch update

We put some more thought into the couch situation on the weekend and visited a few stores. I'm much more positive about the whole thing. For starters, it looks like we could maybe still get the couch we wanted in the first place, but just in a slightly different configuration. Instead of the L shape with a two seater and a three seater arm, we could go down the parth of a three seater with a chaise on one site. This would still get quite a bit of seating (and crucially, allow 2 people to lie on it at the same time) and fit into our living room.

However, we also rather liked the alternatives available at King furniture as well. Those funky modular jobbies are actually looking rather attractive, especially with some of the cool fabrics they come in.

One thing is certain after the weekend's shopping - there are whole warehouses of terrible couches out there that I never want to go near. I think we've narrowed down the choices quite well, now it's just a matter of refining and ordering.

It has also not become apparent that there will be at least a six week wait between couch purchase and one turning up. This may put a crimp in our original plan not to order one until we move in...

Heh, crimp....
