Sophie, I'll tell you what I think of your "bespoke" seating area. It's boring, doesn't look very comfortable and is a waste of money. You'd have been better with a big comfy armchair, ideally in a bright colour, maybe the shade of blue you said you liked a few weeks back and bought some kitchen accessories in, but as that is never going to happen get one in your beloved grey!! Or some bookcases with Ronnie's favourite books on so that he can access them whenever he wants them. But then that would mean he could pull them all off the shelves and make a mess which we know you would hate. Remember Sophie, it isn't just your home, it is Ronnie's and Onslow's too!!!
