My 'dear' "les changements"
I don't know if changing furnitures in our living room is really that necessary. There's nothing wrong with them actually, it's just that I want some changes. I know that we'll be spending a considerable amount of money so I don't know if it's really worth it, oh well...
Anyway, Seb and I started looking for a sectional sofa (the quality should be the same -- buffalo leather, just like what we have at the moment and this one will eventually be put in the master bedroom), a bigger television (the hubby has been eyeing that Sony 52" at Darty) and last Saturday we bought a sideboard/buffet, and it's larger and higher than we actually have and is made of 100% oak. We really made a good bargain, the original price was 2,690€ and since it's winter sale, we paid 936€. It's actually the kind of sideboard I've been looking for -- the quality, the right size, the right price. And it's gonna fit perfectly into the corner where I want it to be. It's just that we still don't know yet when they're going to deliver it (hopefully, this week or early next week). Now, have to take care of getting an oak dining table and chairs, too.
Regarding the sofa, we haven't decided yet if we're going to order it from DME (the boutique where we bought the sideboard) or from the maisonetconfort site. They both have the sofa we want. There's a big difference when it comes to price though, the website sells it at 1600€ while DME at 2990€, almost 90 % more expensive! Wow. Actually to make a decision where to buy it from is not that hard, the reason is quite obvious, it's just that Seb doesn't like it if he doesn't see or "feel" first the product before buying it (well I don't understand him, he already bought numbers of H. Davidson accessories from the web). But then yesterday, I asked him what if we try it ourselves searching the internet for this company that fabricates these sofas (the boutique DME has its catalog). That maybe by ordering from them directly will be more advantageous for us -- be less expensive. So we searched and searched and succeeded! The company is in Italy. We sent them a mail - inquired about the sofa we want, some specific details, etc. Then we received the response just a while ago, it's going to be in bigger dimension, buffalo leather and all... but of course, more expensive, 3290€. Well, well, well... que faire?
