Thank You IKEA

Thank you IKEA for your cheap furniture and accessories that have become part of my home lately! Seriously, I've spent way too much time and money there these days, but I can't help myself! The place is a little addicting. I used to think I didn't like IKEA. But I'd only been in there to look for major pieces of furniture for my not-so-modern house and I just didn't think any of it was my style. Still kinda feel that way, but I had never paid attention to all the other stuff in that store! Now I'm in love and there is evidence of it all over my house.

We bought these colorful storage pieces to contain the caos that is our playroom most of the time! We spend so much time in here and it's really become a priority for me to make it nice. I just wish the rocker wasn't sorely out of place, but I need a grown-up chair in there too!
 I love this little ledge on the wall. I think I want to put another one on the other side of the toys.
 The reading corner is my favorite! It has Addalie's artwork above it and this chair is so cute! The orange shade thing comes down to enclose the child! Addalie can sit and "read" forever so I'm glad she has a fun place to do it!


 I found this cute little guy for all their little stuffed animals. It needs moved over but the hook was already there...


Ok somebody please tell me how to help this room. The walls are green and I don't want to paint them. And I fell in love with this duvet cover and can't take it back. But nothing really seems to mesh in this room and I can't figure out how to make it better!


This room was not influenced by IKEA purchases, but I wanted to show it anyway. We got a bigger bed recently and with it a new bedspread! Our old one was too fragile and I couldn't keep it repaired. So I got a more casual, carefree one and I love it! Daniel, Leah, and I made the headboad. It' soft and cushioned and I think it turned out really well if I do say so! You can't tell, but it has another dark brown layer under the taupe one.

So I'm pretty happy with the updates around the house!
