More Furniture Thoughts


As the sales have been extended, surprise surprise, it was time to start looking around for furniture, particularly with to a view to getting a sofa and a couple of chairs.

Furniture trying out can be quite fun. First stop Trago Mills. They didn't really have what we were looking for, but it was good to plonk down on some sofas, chairs - I also had a rest on a couple of beds too for good measure, but nothing really took our breath away.

Next on the agenda, Harveys and Land of Leather. A Leather sofa is definitely high on the list of preferences, but you definitely have to pay more for that nice soft 'leather' feel to the furniture, I found the cheaper sofas felt a bit more plastic and not as luxurious. The recliners were fab, I can just imagine being perched in front of the telly having a proper "Friends" moment playing with the mechanism.

So no firm ideas yet, but as we're not in any real hurry it doesn't really matter. We have got an idea of what sort of money we will have to spend and have tried a few bits of furniture out, its just a case of keeping an eye out for a bargain when it comes along.
