I 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!
woot! this fri we help u inaugurate your new sofa!!
you didn’t get the IKEA to move the old one away for you? can give salvation army a call, they do take in as long as it’s in working condition..
oh, we will try not to wipe our dirty feet on it and not throw popcorn at one another =DDD we also won’t orpisai and hide it in the folds =DDD
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
oh, do like high jump POM! on the sofa lor! but if it’s friend’s sofa, make sure u run 2.4 until sweaty sweaty first ^^ then after jumping on, slump in letting all that sweat sink into the fabric then let out a good fart! WOOT!
CY, here we come on fri! =DDDD
No Fireproof video – yet LOL.:)
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.
can’t wait for CY’s blog post on how the inauguration of his new sofa turns out…with pictures to tell.
ok now, that’s one thing to look forward to for next week. :)
ta..
gah! this fri CY n Ling can’t make it! but *light bulb appear over head* we can still go there for BS next week *evil laughter with pinkie by the corner of lip*
aw shucks, i think they want to prepare waterproofing and fireproofing the sofa before your appearance :D
BS…i assume is the study-related one……
It is; BS = Bible Study LOL.:)
