Revamping apartment, stage 2

Its really stage one, but I was so excited about my tiger wall, that I ranted it off before what I really started out with. but anyway. SOFA!


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.

Result:

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.

...a little closer

...to be finishing up the bedroom upgrading. Found some lamps in a box under the bed, that needed some pimping before they got stuck to the wall. Nice shape, but scuffed off frosted looking "silver" didnt really match the exquisite wall painting(if I may be so bold...)

add some squishy dabs of tigerpaint and fiddle with some newspaper pages = get something matching to the style :D
Thay have white frosted glass upwards pointed shades. It would be just best if the electrical cords would be black... to sort of hide or bled in better, but I currently don't have such just lying about(in boxes under the bed)
