After waiting for 2 weeks to be able to go shopping for my appartment, I could finaly do so this monday! I had spent the last 2 weeks on Ikea website to find the best-suited furniture for my place. Even though the journey in subway and bus to get to Ikea was long, I still arrived early!! The store opens at 10AM and I actually got there at 9.20. When doors opened at 9.30, I thought "This is great, doors open early!! Canada is great!!!" In the end, it was a whole different story, doors open early so that customers can have breakfast at the cafeteria...I had 1/2h to kill, then I did just like everybody else: I took breakfast there!!
Résultats du shopping:
- 1 magnifique canapé-lit / 1 sofa-bed
- 1 ilôt pour la cuisine / 1 kitchen island
- 1 table basse / 1 coffee table
- 1 meuble TV / 1 TV bench
- 1 tabouret / 1 stool
- diverses babioles pour la cuisine / miscallaneous kitchen items
J'ai fait livrer le tout le jour même. Le créneau de livraison est assez large: entre 17h et 21h...c'est aussi très merdique dans un appart vide!!! Mais ça va, les gars sont arrivés vers 19h30. Manque de bol pour eux, c'était le jour le plus chaud depuis plusieurs semaines et je suis au 2ème étage sans ascenseur...
I had all this stuff delivered at my place on the same day...the given time slot was between 5 and 9PM....which is quite huge considering I had to wait in an empty appartment! The guys arrived around 7.30. Unfortunately for them it was the hottest day in weeks and I live on the second floor without elevator...
Les cartons!! / The boxes
Abracadabra....moins de 24h plus tard....
Abracadabra...less than 24 hours later...
Vous devez vous demander où est le canapé??? Eh bien, j'ai voulu commencer par ça mais comme je suis très chanceuse...je suis tombée sur le canapé sans mode d'emploi....et bien sûr par encore Internet ni de PC sur place, donc j'ai commencé par le reste. Le résultat est pas mal, sauf pour le tabouret...j'ai inversé des vis et je me retrouve avec un joli trou au milieu de la marche inférieure...l'erreur de débutante!!!!
You may wonder where the sofa is! Well, I wanted to start with it but as I am always very lucky, the sofa had no instructions sheet. Since I don't have the Internet there, I had to start with the rest of the stuff. I like the result except for the stool that has a hole in the first step since I mixed up 2 screws!
A côté des jolis meubles tout neufs, j'ai maintenant un magnifique tas de cartons dont il faut que je me débarrasse!!!
Just by the brand new furniture, I have a nice pile of boxes that need to go to the garbage!!
