Christina’s moving in soon (finally!) and my bins have been full for a few weeks in a row (yes I’m throwing a lot of my shit out!).
This weekend we did the couples thing (along with the rest of Sydney it seems as it was a shitfight) and went to a few furniture shops for some ideas. First of all we went to SPACE just so I could drool over the same B&B Italia couch I’ve lusted after for over 10 years. The price is still insane at $34,000. We then came back down to earth and went to Ikea (where $34k could almost buy you one of everything in the entire store!).
I’ve always felt shit about buying stuff at Ikea (I like to think I’m too good for their shit), but the hard fact is that their stuff is cheap(er), and some of it works quite well. For example, I love their massive Expedit bookshelves, they’re almost iconic!(maybe the best thing they’ve ever sold?) and so we bought another one of them for my man cave and also a table for Christina’s new office.
Christina’s new office. What the photo doesn’t show was clearing out the room, which was a nightmare as I had constructed a sound proof wall in there as that room was meant to be a recording room. The bay window was completely covered in vines on the outside, ripping them down was mighty fun!
