Nad bought me a POANG armchair from Ikea.
Finally, a comfy place to sit and knit in!
I chose the red cover one so that period general stains wouldn’t be as obvious as they would be on the natural colored one.
We also bought a MOSES to replace our broken SNILLE chair. Stupid Nad broke it while sitting his heavy ass on it.
It feels weird, though. Like I have to say, “I’m sitting on Moses now.”
Don’t you love Ikea furniture?
A house of our own….
1 white and baby blue coloured kitchen with a wall oven, clean and white workbenches. With matching plates and bowls and cups. Tea set and spice cupboard.
1 cozy living room with fluffy carpet, with my new Ikea POANG armchair with a knitted throw beside new Ikea sofa set, in front of our TV (I’m happy with the one I have). Small coffee table with a few magazines stacked neatly at the side.
1 cozy dining room with a table for 6. Tablecloth sewn by me, and knitted flattish cushions on each chair. Table is CLEAR OF RUBBISH.
1 cozy bedroom with a queen sized bed, always made when no one is in it. Two side tables with reading lamps and our bibles on them. Wardrobe all neat and tidy.
1 study room with a NEAT AND TIDY table, books stacked neatly and computer cables all neat and bundled up. Books in bookshelves in their categories. Sewing machine on a big workspace (I need a big table to draft!) Comfy chairs that won’t give backaches.
1 or 2 cozy children’s bedroom(s) with their own little workspaces. Toys stacked neatly into Ikea storage bins. No doodles on the wall.
1 bathroom with a clean bathtub and the sink has to come with a dressing table and a mirror.
1 clean toilet with a clean toilet bowl! (I can picture a potty beside the toilet bowl. Tee hee.)
1 utility room with a washing machine. I can compromise not having a dryer. But please, I don’t want to hand wash a whole family’s worth of clothes all my life.
1 backyard with herbs, fruits and flowers. No weeds please. A tiny shed that actually keeps out the rain so that we can plonk our grasscutter and gardening tools in there.
2 dogs and a cat. Which we already have. I think I’ve had enough. I used to want more. But I think this is what I can handle. No more. No guinea pigs. No rabbits. No squirrels. No rats. I can’t cope. Please slap me if I bring in another animal.
*Looks around at my VERY VERY MESSY HOUSE*…………………*Big sigh*………………………………….
I have my lovely POANG armchair. But I can’t find a space to put it.
I have a queen size bedframe but a double bed. Which is not that bad really. Sunshine’s cot is right in front of our bed so we tend to knock into furniture quite often.
My bedside table is actually a chair.
My dining table is nice but it’s too small. It’s for 4 people and we put it against the wall, so that makes it a table for 3. Which is fine. Until we have company.
My sofa is an old and not so comfy one. It’s more than 20 years old I heard. When we have our own place, it’s definitely going to be dumped.
We either need to throw out a gazillion things, or we’ll need a slightly bigger house. Where at least we won’t bump into every other furniture. And I want my very very own house.
I’m just dreaming.
