I do like that wall sticker, Quimmy. If I had space, I'd get one myself.

I've bought this sofabed, for the living room:

Hm, images don't seem to be working. It's this one.

I needed fake leather for the living room due to the dog, and need a sofabed due to too frequent guests.

This bed for my room, but in brown:

Which is not exactly my style, with the fake leather, but I need some storage and something the dog can't hide under. I got my daughter a single divan bed recently, but this one has a tad more storage considering that I'll only be able to access one side.

And an enormous pine wardrobe - three doors, six drawers, a strange extra bit at the top - from a secondhand shop.

I'm STILL looking for an oven and fridge-freezer and two brown leather armchairs to go with the sofabed - it turns out that armchairs cost as much as the sofa.

ACHICA have a sale on wall stickers today

 

[scifisam]

I want wall stickers now - I think they might be the solution to my odd corner. I like the magnolia one, though I'd probably have to get two, because it's not very big.

This vase:

This isn't a rug, its a painted bamboo mat. I got it for my porch.

I also got some citronella candles in bamboo holders to get rid of the mosquitos.

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

My new mattress arrived at my new place and OMG urbans, OMG.
It's delightful

 

[scifisam]

I did get the wall stickers.

That corner is directly opposite the living room door, right in the middle of the room, and is about 50 degrees. I was despairing of a way to make it look less weird, and I think the stickers really balance it out.

I also got a sofabed (it looks like we might have two by accident), two armchairs, a rug, a HUGE wardrobe, some curtains, a new enormous fridge-freezer, a new double-oven, and a new lamp to go in my emo daughter's new partially-black room.

Here's the sofabed and stickers:

Here are the armchairs - the animals like them:

The bed, wardrobe and curtains:

That bed opens up totally on a hydraulic system - it's an Ottoman bed. Between that and the wardrobe I've almost solved my storage problems.

New fridge-freezer, with water dispenser:

The flat is, as you can see, still a bit messy from all the boxes, decorating and general shuffling stuff around.

New double oven - I always thought electric would be horrible to cook with, but I love it:

And my Mexican pots. They are SO practical - you can use them on the hob or in the oven, they have handles to carry them to the table and are pretty enough to use as servers, and they're surprisingly easy to wash up, and how cool is that four-piece serving dish thingummy?

New rug

 

[quimcunx]

Someone's been on a bit of a spree. Loving how you've used the corner in the display. I also like that I am not the only person who,um, loses concentration 90% of the way thru painting.

 

[scifisam]

Painting? There are a couple of bits in the flat that need touching up (heh), but I don't think they're in the photos.

 

[quimcunx]

Under the sticker!

 

[scifisam]

Do you mean the shadow the sofa's casting?

 

[quimcunx]

Oh! It looks yellow on my phone! Damn it is just me.

 

[Clair De Lune]

Your house looks lovely Sam

Cactus for living room, rubber magnetic photo frame (actually not going to use it on the fridge as it's nice as it is), Tate sisters "Anyone can" poster. Mostly all from Habitat in their final throes.

Just ordered this for the nursery, as we have nowhere assigned for baby (arriving on Thurs!) stuff.

Hope the guy's right when he says it will arrive on Tuesday, but at least it doesn't have to be assembled or anything. gsv said I could just go and get it, as I was determined to have something, and we should just skip the possible part of him being fussy or 'meh' about it. Half price in the sale, and should be useful. If gsv really finds it too crowding in the nursery, I can suggest it comes into our room as his bedside table, and we can store baby stuff inside it and it'll be a nice table than the hideous plastic folding stool he's been using for the purpose for the last few years

 

[5t3IIa]

Oooh! Feature tree wall!

 

[quimcunx]

Bought these for the bedroom, new mirror and hook for necklaces.

 

[Ron Merlin]

Bought this in the hope we'd finally empty the last of the moving-in boxes (three years after moving in, ahem )

Bollocks to veneer and chipboard. I'm sick of cheap, nasty furniture. This is solid oak:

Delivery imminent!

 

[Ron Merlin]

Bumping myself again but that^ arrived today and it's bloody massive.

Now expecting a luggage rack/towel rail:

Inordinately excited here

 

[quimcunx]

That's rather nice. I've spent ages looking at loads of hooks recently so I'm qualified to say so.

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

Yes, agreed. It's lovely
*sigh*
I want homewares

 

[Ron Merlin]

That's rather nice. I've spent ages looking at loads of hooks recently so I'm qualified to say so.

Cheers! I spent aaages finding one that didn't cost a bomb. I wanted an old British Rail one:

...but they're too popular/expensive, so I looked for an SNCF one:

Same. There's some in Australia, but New South Wales Railways racks don't have hooks. I need hooks!

Pretty though:

Laid out £127 on Amazon instead.

What hooks are you after, quimmy? Salvage yards are brilliant for this sort of thing.

 

[quimcunx]

I wasn't looking for coat hooks for coats, just as a search for hooks for necklaces. I got the flowery one up there, in the end.

That one is good but I'm not spending £127 on one.

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

nice racks

Oh yes. Eyesight fail.

Very nice hooks. Delicate

 

[quimcunx]

Oh yes. Eyesight fail.

Very nice hooks. Delicate

And bought before you posted those ones. Which I'm now thinking about my hallway.

stoppit.

I also want a trinket box. It's £200. I don't even have anything in the way of trinkets.
