Apologies now to anyone who doesn't find this remotely interesting, but my new sofa arrived today. When it was installed (?) into the lounge it looked huge - much bigger than it had seemed in the sofa shop, and I looked at Mr Monda and said, 'what shall we do' and he said 'nothing we can do' and that solved the matter
Much to Mr Monda's annoyance we need to move the lounge around to fit the chair in which is currently residing in the hall. He is annoyed by this because in all my wisdom I told him that we needed the rearrange the lounge yesterday to accommodate our new sofa, when if fact we should have left it where the old one was as it would have fitted much better. Humble pie - I'll have an extra helping please! Of course we do now also need to decorate the lounge so that our new sofa has a stylish home to live in.The studio cum spare room is going to be a big job. I need to spend a good few days in there to get it organised. This is a before pic for the sake of being able to look back when I have finished it
It is actually much less messy than this now, although this is just a temporary fix. A trip to Ikea for good storage solutions is definitely on the cards very soon.

My studio is an organised chaos too, but that's the way how creative people can work with mess and still create great works.

How stylish is that sofa? Wonderful - and the red is fabulous on the brown leather.
I'm sure your studio will look brilliant very soon. There have been times when my 'after' shot looks like your 'before' one! x

Monda...THANKYOU so much for the bunny...she is so cute and the envelopes too :D We have a rabbit the same colour but her ears remind me of the first one we had so I shall call her Tilly in her honour.
VERY GORGEOUS :D

Ooh, a smashing new sofa, and I too think that the red and brown combo is a winner.
And about your studio .... isn't that how they're supposed to look?? Dang it, I'd best try and sort out my sewing room then....

Mr Flowergarden calls it "scope-creep" there is always more to do. Good luck with the studio fix.
