Furniture

We collected some furniture from Sam's Grandma's house yesterday - table and chairs, matching sideboard, sofa bed and a few other bits and pieces. It seemed strange seeing her bungalow empty and ready for someone else to move into - the end of an era!
The furniture has fitted into our home very nicely - and I am sure that May would get great pleasure from knowing we are using it and loving it. I am going to recover the seat pads for the chairs in a modern fabric, which I am sure she would greatly approve of.
The safa bed too is in need of recovering - a much bigger project and one that will have to wait for now. It is a great sofa bed - long enough for even Ian I think - very 60's in style and goes nicely in our spare room making an extra guest bed should we ever need it.

Here it is in May's house - I will add another picture once I have recovered the seat pads.
