We visited my second home today: IKEA of course. IKEA in Eindhoven to be precise. We went there to buy the MASKROS ceiling light. It was announced with a discount of €40, though in reality the ad was misleading and the discount was €30. Still a nice discount. We saved €55 on two lamps, since we got the large and small MASKROS lamps. Awesome. Can't wait to put these up! ![]()
See those product images? Well when I saw them online I thought, it's an okay sofa. We were unable to move our old one to the new house (simply because it was broken and kinda too big to move). So, I had been looking for a new sofa for about a year or so. I just could not find a sofa that would meet our needs and wishes. And then I came across someone else's corner sofa on Pinterest. I found out it was the KARLSTAD sofa with a chaise longue add-on unit. I just knew we had to have that one.
So after having lived without a sofa in the new house for over a month, we ordered the sofa at our local IKEA and it was delivered this week! I was so excited. And shocked. It's so BIIIIIG! I was actually planning to buy the corner sofa plus add-on unit, a 3-seat sofa and a footstool. Well. I'm still going to buy the footstool and I wouldn't mind an armchair of the same series. But the 3-seat sofa is NOT going to fit in the living room lol. We have a big living room but the sofa is so big that another sofa wouldn't fit. And that's fine haha.
Anyway, here are the pics from the assembly evening (last Thursday) and some nicer pictures taken during the day. I love this sofa!!!
The delivery people just dropped off 5 large boxes. It's not hard to see what's inside. It's our new KARLSTAD corner sofa! OMG OMG OMG! So happy and excited now. ![]()
Unpacked most of my Sims on PC/Mac games collection. Seems there isn't any room to expand it further though. Not enough space!
We we're trying to put the KURA bed together. We usually don't have any problems assembling IKEA furniture. But in this case there were a couple of screws that looked a lot like they were the same. So when we were busy trying to connect a couple of pieces together, one screw got stuck. We ended up with a broken, unusable piece. So Wouter went back to IKEA (and that took about 3 hours or so before he was back?!) When he got back and we continued the work, we found out about the different screws. But hey, IKEA provided us with a new part and new screws and so on. Very, very nice of them. At least we weren't left with yet ANOTHER broken KURA bed haha. Oh and Seth is SOOOOOOOO impressed and happy with his bed.
We visited IKEA today! Finally bought the KARLSTAD chaise longue and KURA bed. Aaaaand some other items as well.
Our kitchen is getting rather full with all these furniture shelves. It's a good thing the floor is almost ready. Can't wait to put the furniture together. Then I can start unpacking stuff and filling up our bookcases!
Oh looky, IKEA (Eindhoven only I think) has a huge discount on the MASKROS ceiling lights on the 28th of May. Guess where I'm going that day? ![]()
I bought this bedding for myself when I was still living in dorms. It's Seth's bedding now. I still love this bedding haha. It's from IKEA. I think the series was called MINNEN BARD. I have both the Prince and the Princess edition. ![]()
Some more bad news. While moving, the KURA bed from Seth (that he got from my cousin Carla) has broken, to a point where we can't assemble it anymore. I'm so bummed about this. I promised him this bed, even bought a new tent for it, and was going to paint it in cool colors. But now the broken bed is just taking up space. So I'm planning to buy Seth's new bed as soon as we buy our new sofa. And the old parts? Well I might try and make something cool out of that. Still though. Would have liked to save the money on a new bed.

This is one of Junior's friends. A white mouse without a name. So far we just call him "white mouse", since we also have a brown and grey mouse. Any suggestions for names? ![]()
