a new bed!
A while ago, I bought a bed. A nice italian design that I saw in a magazine. A bed from Alias, an italian furniture maker. It is OK.
Then, I was alone. Now I'm with somebody.
The bed is, among other things, too small for us two.
Then we went looking around, in magazines, at showrooms, everywhere. Comparing, discussing, thinking about what we both find nice and practical and what we both do not find beautiful or otherwise. Different views, different tastes, but finally we came to terms.
I remember, many years ago, several friends from school got married in the period of two to three years. I remember those days and all the preparations. The party, the house to live-in together , and first and foremost, the bed. The matrasse matters.
So last saturday we went to see this new italian bed. Found on a magazine, looked up on internet, listed the local dealers, etc. We were serious about it. And coincidentally, we saw this advertisement on the newspaper about this big showroom. So we went and found a showroom model for a good price. A new bed from Porro, again an italian furniture maker.
We (she) bought the bed. Though it barely fits in our room, but it is a beautiful thing... She said something about someday moving to a bigger place . And I thought that with the bed we were already fine! It seems that there are more plans in the making...
So when will it come? and what should I do with the old one?
Nowadays, the matrasse matters still.
