    I like the sofa btw, although natural-coloured sofas are a b*gger to keep clean looking!

    I can just turn the cushions over can't I? :confused:

    Yes, that's what we do...:rotfl:

    Although they still need taking off and washing pretty regularly, and we use a carpet cleaner on the bits that aren't removable.

    looks lovely ..dont know anything about price though

    OK, you've got a week to do some market research then! ;)


    Next up, bed! :D

    I know I don't like the material type ones with built in drawers. But I'm not totally against drawers on a wooden bed! What does everyone think? Are there any pro's and con's? :undecided

    I like the metal frame ones but don't know if they look as cosy as the wooden ones. :undecided

    Balls to that! :D

    I think beer and curry stains add to its charm. ;)

    The wooden one is like ours - it's really nice. But the metal one is a really good price, and quite stylish. They're both nice - which do you prefer?

    I think the wooden one. It just looks more comfy and warmer than the metal one. :undecided

    But then do I find one with drawers underneath or not. I think maybe not. Will be easier to assemble! :rotfl:

    Plus I don't really have any clutter that I'll need to stash away. I'm quite a minimalist person. :think:
