Sweden to the Rescue


With the house slowly taking shape there were a number of things to organise before it will be finalised. One of the most important issues is to get a kitchen and some bits and pieces of furniture. What better excuse than to check out the IKEA in Genova on a late Sunday afternoon. Only 1 hour and 15 minutes away (I drive quicker than Google Maps indication of 1h55) and let’s get crazy in Blue and Yellow land. It is quiet interesting to see that Ikea Italy has managed to give the store a little bit of an Italian touch, with an Espresso bar and Italian meals and as it looks like, a little bit more of designer things in the aisles.
They are open everyday until 20.00 and receive between 5.000 to 15.000 visitors per day !

I decided to get my office table and things for the guest room. With a nice bed and some funky bedcovers guests will be able to enjoy Ikea luxury and comfort at Seborga.
The kitchen will be for next week cos this is giving me headaches and frankly, it is too complicated to design the living room with a sitting area, fireplace, big windows but also a table to dine and an open kitchen ahhhhhhh Jean des Bouvries to the rescue!

Well at least these problems are more luxury problems and I guess in the end it will not matter too much since the good weather will force …Outside living !
