Our furniture

JF and I went furniture shopping. We decided to take a chance and order our furniture before we actually moved in. Many people suggested we wait to see how we felt about the house, but neither of us relished the idea of living with a couch or a table for a long period of time. We both want to enjoy our home fairly quickly and the furniture we were looking at required up to 6 weeks to deliver. Living without seating for over a month seems just wrong.

IFurniture shopping with JF was fun but confusing, from the beginning he said he wanted modern or contemporary furniture, when in fact, it turned out he really meant dark furniture. became suspicious of this when he pointed out this type of table. Luckily, he actually likes contemporary though, cause or else it would have been more difficult.

We got a great deal on some chairs at the Maison Corbeil liquidation center. They are beautiful chocolate brown leather chairs and when you sit in them, it feels like your getting a nice warm hug.

The sofa will actually be white... or light grey; I am still trying to decide. We chose thick velvety corduroy (the same as the pillow on the chair), but we are a bit worried about that choice. I know it will look awesome against a dark chocolate of turquoise wall, but I’m afraid, at least slightly. The picture is of the sofa in leather.


The dining room table is very sleak. It’s made of ash and we will be getting it in Moka to match our kitchen cabinets. It’s designed and made right here in Quebec by Poitras.We are taking the table, but we chose white leather chairs to contrast the dark table. They were both cheaper and in my opinion look better. The buffet will have to wait for now.

Counting down the last weeks.
