There is/was? a furniture store on one of the main streets here... had this garish pink-burgundy couch in the front window. Drove by the other day and the place looked empty and closed. We blame that couch.

Beige blinds. White floors. Add in the beige, goldish, so-called blue furniture and we were drowning in monotony! I am NOT really picky about interior decorating. I am far too utilitarian. I do have some pretties and frills, but I guarantee that no magazine would ever be interested in my style! BUT, even I have to draw a line somewhere :D It took me a while to discover out slipcovers. I never thought of them as I'd never used them! We always spot-cleaned our upholstery, vacuumed, fluffed the pillows, etc. and they lived happily ever after until they'd die a natural sofa (structural) death. Having no choice of furniture made me search for alternatives! :D Good luck with the move to your next post. Have you ever been there?Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667481504650498976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304534455173718249.post-30413164202657814942010-02-23T12:16:33.515+02:002010-02-23T12:16:33.515+02:00I have the same "blue" living room suite...I have the same "blue" living room suite and I HATE it. If I had been just a bit smarter I would have had slip covers made in Jakarta where it would have been cheap but it was my first tour and I was a bit clueless. We are on count down to leave Germany so I won't bother getting the slip covers now but when we get to Malawi you can bet there will be slip covers either made locally or ordered. I am tired of the FS furniture!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110115324050851439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304534455173718249.post-72315467781348500012010-02-23T11:39:25.960+02:002010-02-23T11:39:25.960+02:00Leather and cats would be baaaad :D I really like ...Leather and cats would be baaaad :D I really like leather furniture, but will likely always have cats, so it is probably not in our future!Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667481504650498976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304534455173718249.post-12790900233842729282010-02-23T11:21:19.581+02:002010-02-23T11:21:19.581+02:00So smart to use covers!

Washable is key. <br /><br />We don't have government furniture anymore but we bought plain wood chairs for the dining table and a leather sofa (wipeable so good for kids and since we don't have cats it works). The sofa choices in Korea are all leather and the ones at the Px are too overstuffed with loose back pillows or in weird colors/patterns so we just went with dark brown leather.Mama Seoulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16013830400454840736noreply@blogger.com
