Anyway we managed to purchase 2 new recliners, we decided the old ones had done their duty and were not worth cleaning. We also hunted for a decent looking cabinet to put in the bedroom to store some of my art supplies, books, etc.. I wanted height to get more storage area; but alas not to be found. Our choice was either kitchen type pantry cupboards or bedroom closet type cabinets. The bedroom ones all have a big area to hang clothes which I didn't want. I wanted shelves, shelves and more shelves.
In the end I settled for a kitchen pantry type cabinet made out of pine, not as high as I wanted and not the colour that I wanted; but we didn't have much choice really. I was just too lazy to get a carpenter to build one and it would have been costlier in the long run.
Even buying a new laundry hamper entailed going to many stores before getting what I wanted at one of the grocery stores in the end.
I also want/need a new organizer shelf unit that goes over the toilet; but none are to be found here in any of the stores. Strange as we bought our old one here. Oh well, six months down the road all the stores will be full of them.
We stuck the old recliners out on the patio for now which makes for a really relaxing place to sit out there; although it looks rather weird. The street cats that normally spend the night up here sleeping in our regular patio chairs are thinking they have died and gone to cat heaven I am sure. I have put covers on the seats so that we don't get covered with hair when we sit down.
So everyone is happy.
