my sofa has arrived - 3 months after i placed an order for it and 7 months after i moved into the new shack in camden. it has lent nice lines to the lounge and we now know that a dining table to add to this comfortably proportioned space is slightly out of the question.

i'm still posting this from a makeshift work station on one side of this new addition to the family of furniture in the new home but i eventually see this makeshift table making way for a larger but similarly low table where we will replace this ginormous 19" CRT monitor with a LCD and taking a total of 1/5 of the space it's now taking. i imagine we'll have to get floor cushions in anticipation of japanese style dinner parties at this low table and maybe keeping the red bean bag so sweetly bequeathed to me by *milk* as the VIP seat. low ceilings demand low surfaces.

the sofa is really great by the way not just in an incidental manner. we actually like it - sitting on it, finding different configurations for the both of us to comfortably stare at the gogglebox, reading the papers on it, seeing friends sink comfortably on it and unwilling to give the seat up thereafter. the list goes on and the sofa is a welcome addition.

i'll post pics soon.
