HIP - Living Room

HIP in progress...
We spent close to 3 weeks hunting for a brand new sofa. Initially, we thought that our requirement was pretty simple... All we wanted to get was a simple L-shaped, leather sofa... how hard would that be right?

Wrong!!!
Buying a sofa is like contemplating a marriage!!!
So many different things to think about!!!

• The type of leather (leatherbond, half leather, full leather, thick leather)
• Functionalities (expandable seats, reclining back, adjustable headrest)
• Leg materials (wood, metal, chrome, stainless steel)
  
• Number of seats (3-seater, 4-seater)
• Size of seats (8-feet, 9-feet, 10-feet in width)
  
• Brand name (obviously, the branded one will cost more la)

We looked at so many different outlets and sat on so many different types... that after awhile, they all looked the same. In the end... after weeks of hunting... we ended up buying the first sofa we shortlisted when we first saw it...

But that wasn't the end of it. 10 minutes later, on our way home... we suddenly, collectively agreed that the 3-seater we paid a deposit for was way too short for our living room... and that we should have opted for the 4-seater instead... SO we found ourselves frantically calling the shop again to change the specs of the sofa from a 3-seater to a 4-seater one... (am certain the lady thinks we're both mad)... hahahaha...

Nevertheless, here's the L-shaped, leather sofa we now have at our weekend home... and OH... it has 2 special functionalities that helped us make up our minds... (1) Expandable seats - apart from the single "L" seat, all the rest of the 3 other seats are expandable so in actual fact... this is a 4-L sofa... hahaha... and (2) Adjustable headrest - the headrest can be adjusted to whichever angle one prefers...


Next HIP item... dining set... :D
