If you don't see anything you like in their showroom, they have at least half a dozen catalogs of companies in Europe they partner with, in places like the UK, Belgium, and Italy. If you STILL don't see something you want, they can work with one of them to create a custom piece for you, how awesome is that?!
Since we came in well below our allowance, we had plenty of money to "spend." With an apartment that's nearly double the size of our last place, we knew we were going to need some extra stuff, including an entire guest bedroom set.
Here is what we are getting:
Master bedroom - headboard, two wardrobes (remember, there are zero closets here), a tall and skinny dresser, two bedside tables
Dining Room - table and six chairs, two buffets
Guest bedroom - bed, mattress (with a memory foam pillow top, very comfy!), two bedside tables, dresser
Extras - table to put behind the couch for extra storage (and to keep the couch from sliding around), a wardrobe to put in the entryway (for coats, gloves, hats, etc).
You can get an idea of what these items look like if you visit my Deutschland Flat Pinterest page where I've pinned the majority of what we are ordering (and some other little items from Ikea and a few other places that we have or are going to purchase). For reference, the lighter colored bedroom set is going to be in the guest room (excluding the wardrobe, which will be in our entryway), and the darker colored set is for the master bedroom. I can't wait for it all!
I am especially excited for our dining room set - it's essentially what is pictured. Super nice set from Belgium, with light blue microfiber chairs. Yay! The table has a leaf in it to extend as needed, and the buffets are going to provide so much storage for all my bulky kitchen gadgets. The smaller buffet will likely house our bar stuff as well as our bottles of wine. Once we get that setup, we can get a funky light fixture for the room to tie it all together.
This weekend we'll be painting the guest bedroom, dining room, and upstairs bathroom so everything is ready when the furniture shows up. That still won't be for awhile, but it's good to get the painting out of the way. My goal today is to get the bedroom and dining room prepped to paint, which means I have to move all the stuff I've been tossing around there, get out the paper for the floor, and put down the painter's tape along the edges. Then we can just open the paint and go for it!
And because we all like pictures, I'll leave you with this, one of our meals we had this week. If you recall from my last post there were turkey meatballs? Here they are being put to good use. They were delicious!
Happy weekend everyone!
