New Sofa – Finally
Sunday - April 26th, 2009 at 6:29 PM by CYI blogged here 8 months ago about our quest to find a new replacement sofa for our living room but never really got our hearts into it. Oh, we went by Courts and Ikea a couple of times and saw a couple of models we thought could be suitable but kept putting off a purchase.
Necessity eventually got our procrastinating selves into action. Specifically, the zipper for the fabric cover of our sofa broke yesterday afternoon when I was trying to send the whole thing to wash. So, we took off for Ikea again, and found one that we both liked: a 2 + 2 corner sofa Ektrop series with Idemo Biege colored covers. OK so I said before I didn’t want another sofa with fabric upholstery, but leather was bringing around other challenges in maintenance.
The thing is a lot larger than the old Beng Tuan cheapo the Ektrop is replacing and the TV area is now sort of partitioned off by the huge sofa. But then again, it’s a lot more comfy with more legroom for my corner. The new sofa arrived this morning – just 17 hours after making the order. The cover looks a little crumpled though since it came packed in boxes. Damage was $1099 + $97 for delivery and assembly.
Now we have to figure out what to do with the other sofa that’s now lying upside down in our living room!

don’t do any of the above, how to inaugurate a sofa? best is to throw a large sheet over sofa, whack any dirty material over it till the owners’ eyes can widen no more, then pull the large sheet away to reveal….no damage, of course. :D

The important thing is that Eleanor the sheep doll remains a permanent fixture on the living room sofa. Yes, she’s prone to watching too much television, but that’s the price one pays for such a reliable sentry sheep.
