Oooooh a first little glimpse into our furnished new house! In this blogpost<\/a> I already gave you a little tour of the empty house and here<\/a> you can find a whole video of our move.<\/p>\n

The first room we finished is our office. We both work from home at the moment and even though Jesse is completely happy with the sofa and dining table, I desperately needed a designated work corner. My old desk didn’t fit into the new room, so we had to sell it. Unfortunately, no only because it gave me so much working space, but was also adjustable in height and super practical. However, our house is smaller than our old apartment (which is perfectly fine, I’d rather downsize than having to “fill” a house now) and so we had to come up with a different solution. 2-in-1 pieces of furniture are the best choice for a small living space.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

That’s why I had the idea to get a ladder table like this, which is also a shelf, saves space and can possibly be used differently in the future.<\/p>\n

We found the table at Futon Company (unfortunately only available in the UK, self paid, no sponsorship). It’s been a few weeks since we bought it so I have been able test it for several weeks. Read my detailed review below.<\/p>\n

We needed a pull-out sofa in case we ever get guests again \ud83d\ude1b The office is the only room where visitors can sleep (except in the living room, but our living space downstairs is completely open concept).<\/p>\n

We brought the big wooden cabinet from Berlin. It is originally from MYCS (self paid, no cooperation!), but I have to say that I cannot recommend the service very much. The cupboard is great, amazing quality, but it took forever to arrive after I placed me order. This would not have been a problem in itself, but it came later than I was told it would and I didn’t receive any updates after the original delivery time had come and passed. I had to ask several times if there was a new delivery date or for any sort of updates. I had to wait 10 weeks instead of the promised 4-6, so updates would have been nice without me having to ask. Then two doors arrived damaged and two drawers were missing, and the complaint process did not go very smoothly either. At this price I expected more. I also have to say that this piece of furniture is one of the few self-configured, expensive pieces of furniture I have ever bought, actually the only one so far. Maybe my expectations were just too high.<\/p>\n

I bought the carpet at Weaver Green. It is made of recycled plastic bottles and I had actually bought it for the terrace. But the garden weather is over now, so I couldn’t test it outside yet. During winter it will stay here in the study for now.<\/p>\n
