This Chesterfield armchair is a find from two years ago and I still LOVE it. Seriously love it. Like, I would have its leathery blue babies, love it. AND it was £41. FORTY-ONE POUNDS! Amazing.
This is our new couch. I have loved tan leather for a while but had always balked at the prices for a couch with the lines I was looking for, until I found this baby. I think it'll work really well in the living room with the Chesterfield. Another incredible bargain: £63
This gorgeous piece is another new addition and was one of Matt's picks for the flat. We paid £39 for this and I think that's still a pretty good deal. It's in great condition and Matt's Grandad's initials are A.L. so that makes the piece special to us. I'm trying to figure out how to add a hidden frame to the bottom of it to enable us to add brass castors, so that it's the right height for a coffee table. I have a pretty good idea how but we'll see how it pans out!
Last but not least, we have a vintage deco china cabinet which is about to start a new incarnation as a Lego cabinet. That's right: Matt loves Lego and I love Matt, so I had to find a way for him to show his favourite Lego pieces without making my eyes bleed. Enter Mr Handsome Deco China Cabinet (gotta get that guy a nickname): he's made of gorgeous walnut and has great lines but as he's mostly glass and mirror, it means that Matt still gets to show his Legos. Hurrah indeed!
What isn't so cheering is the snow which is piled up outside and preventing us from picking up Mr Handsome Cabinet, even though he's only a couple of miles away. Boooo! I guess I'll just have to sit here and wait for my other Mr Handsome to battle through the snow after his night shift :)
