Our apartment have been sortof looking like a office for a while, since the main furniture has been concentrated about computers and such. We have been longing for a sofa to cuddle up and watch movies in, but havent really seen where the hell it should ba placed. And besides, our livingroom has a stoopid layout when it comes to doors and windows placement. Also, new sofas costs quite some €€.
Answer was to play some tetris with the furniture we have, and consider about changing some things. And going to the local kierrätyskeskus - second hand place à la salvation army. There we scored a beige "beauty" two seater that is quite spacious -32€.
Those who know me I believe can agree with the statement that I don't r eally like beige. Neither does my boyfriend. But Hey! we have IKEA and their reasonably priced fabrics around the corner. And I'm pretty pro on the sewingmachine.

Even Kosmo has approved...
Thoughts about this:
IKEAs "minna" fabric is very durable and takes 60C washes in the machinge. However, it wrinkles quite easily, so it's very annoying to keep tidy-looking. And a gray cat with gray fabric couch is not as camouflaging as one might think. The sheaded fur shows just as easy as on a black fabric.
"I'm pretty pro on the sewing machine.", I concur! Not only it became pretty, its comfortable now =)
