Perhaps this is reasonable to some but we have chalked it up as a frustrating experience and there's a very slim chance that we'll be ordering online through the IKEA website again. Even their customer service rep said it's a better idea to order directly from your most local store. That would have been good to know. We usually drive 5 hours, load up the car, drive another 5 hours back and are as happy as peaches. However, my car doesn't fit a couch. Next time (if Dave allows it...he was not a happy camper I tell you!), we will have to place our delivery order at our 'local' store.
It's the Karlstad with the Isunda gray cover which I have dreamed about, talked about, longed for, waited for, etc. for a very long time. It's very comfortable, I love the fabric (colour and texture), and I really am happy to finally be sitting on it!
I will have to get different legs for it as I'm not a fan of the ones it comes with. And since we are playing what's wrong with the stuff in the picture above:
1) Take a look at this rug on rug situation. Not good, I know.
2) Check out the brown too-short curtains (which are gone now and replaced with beauties I will show you later...promise)
3) Beige paint with a grey couch? Not a big fan I tell you.
4) You can't have one pillow...maybe you can, but I can't. This will not last.
Oh, and one other thing that is just plain right...that sweet looking art. It's a moviebarcode print that we ordered (I posted about this cool art back in April). We got it framed at Michael's and we're digging it in a big way. What movie is it? An epic masterpiece from 1978 of course. Okay, it's Superman. I love my husband. And the colours.
I'll post more pics of the living room another time. It's still a work in progress but we're getting there!
Yeahhhh for the couch finally arriving. And Kelly sometimes
ReplyDeleteI think your just to hard on the beige/tan wall.
Cause I think it does work together... But a white wall would be ideal hey!
