Thanks my dear Denise... the excitement is there but we have to start from scratch, we are moving some of our old furnitures for personal reasons and the only rooms we have to furnish new are the kitchen and the main bedroom.

Ludwig Furniture Store is a bit different from Ikea because their products come from different European suppliers as well as local furniture makers. Of course they also have articles made in China, but the main focus of the store is mostly on European producers. Ikea has a different concept, they have their designer from house and they produce the products from different countries where labor is cheap. My kitchen in Spain is from Ikea and we paid a lot of money on its gadgets only to find out that they are not that practical to use and TBH, you would only feel the quality of the products once you start using them.

Thanks that you took time to write a lovely reply. Have a nice Wednesday ahead.
