Finally Lovin’ IKEA

I have been to IKEA many times and bought a little something. Last year I bought a shelf for Sophia’s room which I love.  But overall never really enjoyed the process.  I tend to get overwhelmed easily in large store. (Which is why I don’t do Wal-Mart).

Well yesterday was a new experience.  I found some really cool things.  Plus I bought another shelf, inspired by The Nester.  And, I LOVE it.  What a great improvement to my room. WOO HOO. Here is a peak at my new acquisitions.

The shelving unit is what I have been wanting to do for so long but since we are trying to sell our house I didn’t want to spend the money.  Well now it will probably help sell it.  The toys aren’t all over. Yeah!  I also got the pillows.  The are gorg!  and only $15. each.  Embroidered and great bright colors on white!

Oh this is my Valentine Mantel.  I guess its time to change it but I was proud of how nice it turned out.

I got a few toys too. So cheap and Sophia loves this. IKEA 010

I got the white tray and I think it goes.? IKEA 011

I got some fabric discards in the AS-IS section that where $3-$5 for large pieces.  They are actually cushion covers.  I have a few re-fashioning ideas.  We will see  how they turn out.  This was an idea from one of my favorite reads…MADE.  She is too cool. She is doing a series this month all about BOYS and stuff to make for them.  Last years was great.

 

Have a great day!
