OK so when I first moved into my new house we got a lovely, comfy and pretty much mint leather sofa from my parents as they had just bought a new sofa themselves. It is a great sofa and better quality than anything me or my housemate could afford new but for some reason everything in our front room has slowly gone to a red colour scheme and our sofa is a very clashing shade of blue!

I really would like a new red sofa but because of the fact I’m not exactly flush with money I have merely been window shopping at the moment, the window of the web that is. It would seem for a single 3 seater sofa I’m going to need to save up around £400 to £500 and then more again for the single chair to go with it, but that could be something completely different (or my dream of a proper La-z-boy!)

I would ideally prefer a leather sofa because it is a lot easier to look after and I have seen a selection of sofas from Furniture Choice that all seem to have sloping armrests, I’m not sure if this must be the ‘in’ thing at the moment but I do like the look and it would make it a lot nicer to lie down on. They look like this one below.

Of course my housemate is a joiner so I could just make him create something a bit weird and wonderful like this

It doesn’t look particularly comfortable though and I’d still have to buy the fabric and cushions. Of course the last and cheapest option is some kind of leather dye. I’ve never used or experimented with dyes before so I’m not really sure what is out there but it sounds like it could work. Has anyone tried any leather dyes before? How do they work and are they actually any good? Comment below, I’d love to find out a bit about it.

Taking the bed part of bedroom in a big way!

It is like a massive set of sofas fused with a room long bed! If you found your way into that room with unlimited DVD’s and TV/internet I’m pretty sure you would never leave!

A bed in the floor!

For some reason this pleases me greatly but I’m not exactly sure why. Also beside it looks like its a switchboard for airride… Please tell me the bed raises and lowers! Furniture on wheels has been done so why not furniture on wheels with air ride so you can go up and down like your in a rap video at the same time…

Ok maybe I’m just being silly now.
