Continuing with the Home Improvement theme from yesterday, the bedroom set that I ordered from Index last week arrived today. I bought it from the brand-new Index branch near my house on Ekkamai.
I junked the old bed with a hideous fabric-cushion headboard, the sad old dresser and matching "entertainment" center. In its place is now super-cool dark wood furniture. I think it matches the butter-colored walls very nicely.
The best thing about buying furniture in Thailand is that you don't have to assemble it yourself. The bed, two dressers, two night stands, a small "makeup" table, and an entertainment center all arrived in boxes at my apartment yesterday, along with 6 able-bodied Thai boys. They were amazing: everything was put together in about 45 minutes. It would have taken me literally all day to put together 7 pieces of furniture. Not to mention I don't have any tools.
So now the furniture is looking better. Now I need to focus on renovating those bathrooms!
Pictures? :-)
