I’m itching to buy furniture again. I sold my table and chairs because we never used them, and now I’m contemplating a pair of chairs. While Ikea appeals to my wallet, I’m lusting after this chair from Room & Board…
Naturally, I wouldn’t order it in that color. I’ll give you one guess which color I’d go with…
I’m not quite sure about the ottoman situation. Is one enough? Or maybe a non-matching ottoman that’s large enough to be shared? That’s trickier.
Then, I also need to replace the eating area in a more convenient size and location so that we might actually use it. I like this table idea (also from Room & Board).
It’s narrow enough (30″) that it could just go up against the wall with 3 chairs, but you could pull it out and add a fourth chair if you needed to. Or even do two chairs on the long side. I’d prefer the walnut top, but at $400 less, I think I’d go with the plain glass top.
Then I also have to get chairs. Eeesh. Maybe Ikea chairs will do. At $19.99, this Stefan chair could be hard to beat.
So, 2 chairs, 1 ottoman, table, 4 dining chairs = $2366 + tax + shipping. The chairs are the bulk of that though. More debating required.
