Ordering furniture

Another busy Saturday. We met the guy from Danske Mobler at 9:30 at the house. He was bringing out a lounge suite we liked to see how it fitted. There were options on various sizes so we wanted to see how it looked before going for 3-seaters or 2-seaters or the whole chaise setup. It helped. Also he brought a sample of the material we were thinking of getting it covered in to see how it looked against the walls and carpet and stuff. It helped too. We decided on two 2-seaters and changed the colour of the material we wanted. In case you're interested, we've gone for raisen. And it's all ordered. And the dining room suite. And coffee table. And lounge suite for the other room. We got a decent discount in the end, which was a nice bonus for buying so much stuff from the one shop.

After that we nipped to the place where we getting our desks from and placed a quote request. And then drove to the furniture shop where we're getting our spare room bedroom stuff to order it and get a quote on a corner TV unit thing.

One downside about Chch is the relative lack of public transport. As a result of that, and mine and Joanne's different office hours, we need two cars. This one will do mountains too.
