Some progress, just not on the house!

As suspected, there was no progress from Wednesday; they are probably waiting on our cheque for the Frame stage, the cheque should be in their letterbox tomorrow so they can start up again.

We did achieve a couple of things on Saturday, we confirmed the windows in our front door and we purchased a couch.

While we had decided on the make & model of front door I was having second thoughts on the window inserts, should we have clear, obscure or translucent glass?

We had ordered and payed for the translucent glass and after a drive out to Campbellfield to the Corinthian showroom we made our selection, translucent!! So really no change to what we had ordered and we didn’t really need to go on our trek to Campbellfield but I needed piece of mind, Mrs B just thought I was being stupid as she was happy with translucent all along.

As for the couch we had our mind set on a leather couch with a chaise and a matching 2 seater sofa. Last Sunday I managed to visit nearly every furniture store in Nunawading and while I found a couple of nice couches, they were either too big for the space we had or too expensive.

Never fear though because I had been surfing the net for quite a while and had found Frogs Sofas who are a small company selling direct to the public and make to measure as well as provide a wide range to choose from. We went into the factory and found the “Toad Hall” sat down and instantly fell in love, it was sooooo comfy and we knew we were on a winner, especially as they could make it to the right size.

Well we asked for a quote and they were very reasonable, so reasonable in fact we managed to squeeze 3 kiddies chairs in and only spent $16 more than our budget, including delivery. The kiddies chairs are very cute and should be good until the kids turn 6 or 7 and they are making them out of the same leather as our couch, so they will match perfectly.

Now all we need is a house to put them in!!!!!!!!!!
