Brownie points

Saturday, March 1st, 2008

Kevin Dining chairsLast week we received some of the Rattan range into stock, and some friends (Derek & Sue) decided to have some for their home as well.
I called Derek to tell him it was ready for delivery, but he had other ideas. He didn’t tell his wife when it arrived (she was working further up the coast that day) but snuck home during the day to strategically place some items around the house. He had it so that when she first arrived home, she wouldn’t see a thing. He knew her habits , so placed a few barstools where they would be hidden by the hotplate, and a couple of chairs in the laundry, and some bedroom furniture in unobtrusive spots.
Well, he doesn’t want to be quoted that he anticipated her movements (that would backfire badly), but it worked out beautifully.
She came home (saw nothing), went straight to the sink and saw the breakfast barstools, and thought “that’s nice, why didn’t he bring the rest?”, then out to the laundry where she saw the chairs, and all of a sudden, it was like an Easter egg hunt. Into every room, looking for boxes, a breathless phone call to her daughter, and then to Derek. He said it was nice to hear her joy (and the brownie points will last for quite a while).
It’s amazing how new furniture makes a difference.

Cane occasional setting
We have had some demand for some Cane Furniture, too.
A nice range is now available, and it is a good commercial quality that will suit some Resort apartment owners, as well as the domestic market
