We ordered another couch today. Like the one in our living-room, this one will be coming from Forma in the Utrechtsestraat. Sarah and I both really like the stuff in that shop and find ourselves going back time after time. The guy who assists us, René, is always helpful and objective, too. It wouldn't be half as much fun without him.
The new couch will be positioned in our sitting-room with its back against the window, so that the view from the living-room will be into the body of the couch. That should serve to provide the room with definition, framing the room and making it feel less open and chaotic than it is now.
We expect to order some armchairs tomorrow, once we've made a final choice about colours and material.
We're still on the lookout for a wooden-framed glass table and a sideboard to complete the sitting-room; plus the never-ending search for the perfect lighting, but we've kind of postponed that element of the furnishing for the time being. It's very hard to concentrate on so many things at once.
