Ok, here's the problem. We're moving into a second-hand house, and we're purchasing a lot of contents from the current owners. These owners had impeccable taste on almost everything. The reason I say ALMOST is the sofa quandry.
They're selling a suite, two-seater sofa and two armchairs, which is in immaculate condition. However, it's dark navy, in a style I really don't like and I feel it causes the living room to feel very cramped.
I had always envisaged us buying a leather suite (we have a friend who could get us a discount on a nice suite).
In saying that, it's only €300, which we could probably reduce down.
1. Should we buy and re-cover the chairs? (Does anyone know how much this would cost?)
2. Should we accept it as it (as my Mum tells me I should do ("In my day, blah blah blah" - no disrespect meant of course, as she's right, but my heart just doesn't want to know!)
3. Should we say NO?
Not expecting anyone to make the decision for us, but looking for an idea of what other people would do!
