In 14 days we will be moving out of our good old flat, to a new house. Or rather we will move out, and after Easter we will move into the new house.
Yesterday we finally chose the new table and chairs we were going to buy for the house. We spent a great deal of time figuring out what table we were going to get and where we would get it without spending all the money we have left after buying that house.
What we sort of ignored all the time, was the chairs. We did not ignore them completely, no, but we did never discuss their color. So when we finally were ready to order everything, yesterday at the furniture place, the guy wanted to know which color the chairs should be (the part which is not wood).
We have a pitch black floor, a fair beech wood table, white walls, transparent light gray white curtains. The chairs should contrast to their surroundings without taking all the attention. Aargh ... what a decision 20 minutes before they are going to close the shop for the night.
We went back and forth amongst all the colors on offer and finally settled on a fair grayish color with a hint of blue. With the order sent and the price agreed, we are left to worry if this was really the color which is right for us. Will not be to delicate? Will it fit with the rest of our furniture? I see six to eight weeks of worrying to worry ahead of us. Because of all our special wishes, it will take them that long to produce and ship the things.
Don't say it ... just don't! I'm going to bed now.
