I hope you had a most wonderfully long weekend. I spent a lot of time with my family & friends and getting ready for my new apartment. I hope you’re ready for a lot of interior design related posts because that is certainly my current obsession.
Since I spent 5 years living in NYC, I don’t really have a furniture collection of my own so I got a few basics at Ikea and online this weekend. These few simple pieces will be a great start for me- I can easily change the pillows and colors and make this furniture work in any room. I love the $30 wicker chairs (#5 ) and I splurged on a $24 sheepskin throws (#4) to use a cushions. I’m also so excited about my couch (#1) and love this color gray. I got the long floral runner rug (#7) for my hallway that is going to be painted with wide stripes. Since my apartment is very tiny I need extra shelves wherever possible and this $20 coffee table (#3) was the perfect size. This week I plan to get two of these X benches (#6) for my bedroom from K-Mart that are on sale for $54. I will eventually reupholster them but that’s at the bottom of my list. These dishes (#2) are so cheap ($24!) and I love the color, total fake Fiestaware but that is fine for now- I’m covering the bottom of my sink in a similar aqua gingham fabric.
So cute! (And such good prices!) That couch color is perfect.
Love your picks. Nice and great prices. That bench is so cute!
I love all your picks! It’s so fun to start decorating a place – sometimes just thinking about it makes me want to move. But then it’s a lot more work when it’s a family of four vs. just a single person – enjoy and have fun with the process. I can’t wait to see pictures!
I love the leopard print bench from KMART. Who would have thought that they would have such great finds? Happy decorating, can’t wait to see the end result.
That bench is really cute!! Thanks for sharing these! I might have to head over to K-Mart! :)
