Well we made a trip to Ikea last weekend. I couldn't handle how unfinished the family room was so I gave in bought some cheaper furniture while I save up for my dream coffee table. We bought the oh so popular Lack coffee table, which I plan on attacking soon and turning into something fabulous, or at least attempting to. Don't get your hopes up, it probably won't be a very dramatic transformation. We also got a tv stand since our tv had been sitting on an ugly old end table we found on Craigslist since we moved in. It was a much needed upgrade I would say.
I realize that these are fake flowers and it would look much better with real ones, that just requires remembering to pick some up when I'm out, which has proven to be quite the challenge for me :). So in the mean time these little guys are doing the trick to add some extra color.
I picked up this lovely little owl at TJ Maxx yesterday and I'm slightly obsessed with it. I've named him Oliver. Also, I have a desk and a dresser sitting in my garage waiting to be painted. I got the dresser all primed so hopefully I will get that finished this week I can't wait to get it done and show you all!
Looking good! It's so hard to patient while you wait for your budget to get bigger :)
