Lounge Room Update!
Ofelia Blanket White$29.99This beautiful throw caught both mind and my husband's eye at exactly the same time!Boy and I glad he has good taste! Well, at least if I like it, he usually does too.I actually had my eye on this the last time we browsed Ikea. I just didn't think we hadanywhere to put it. As you'll find out by the end of this post, it now has it's own pride of place!
Hampen Rug Black$49.99Deciding on a new rug wasn't easy. We both knew a white, fluffy, shaggy style rug wouldlook amazing, but we both also knew it would never stay looking nice and white. Not with young kids and a black cat anyway! So that dream will have to wait.We already had this same rug in green, but with me wanting to steer away from brightcolours, we decided black would probably work best for us and for the price I figured if it doesn't work in the lounge room at least we haven't spend hundreds and thousandson it and it can always go in the bedroom where the color scheme is pretty much focused onblack and white. Luckily, I think it worked out ok in the lounge. 
Krakris Throw White/Grey$1.99I spotted this as we were lining up at the checkout and thought it was not onlyan amazing bargain, but could possibly also look pretty good as a throw on the couch.So for only two bucks, it's not a big risk to take just to see. I think it ended up working outpretty well and with the weather getting colder, having a few throws on the couch is a prettygood idea!
Friheten Corner Sofa-Bed Skiftebo Dark Grey$699.00Ever since my husband, as good as his intentions were, came home one day withan old, worn, dark bottle green leather couch, I have secretly been dying to get rid of itand get something like the one below. On Saturday, my dream came true! :)This rather large purchase was not planned. We were simply just getting out of the housefor the day and were going to just browse the shops when we mistakenly somehow wound upat Ikea. We should have known this would be a dangerous choice of location to 'browse' but heyhe was driving, not me! ;) None-the-less, we first spotted a pretty decent looking two seater, simplelooking couch for $99 and were just going to get that as we live in a fairly small unit and don'thave a lot of room and getting rid of our current generous two seater plus the two matching massiverecliners and replacing then with this would have worked out well and given us a lot of space back.BUT, then we kept on walking didn't we! Well, really what choice do you have in Ikea but to keepon following those little arrows on the floor. Then we spotted the one we ended up purchasing below.Is also comes in a tan and a hot pink which we almost got, but I really wanted to steer away frombright colours and focus more on neutral tones. So we both agreed this would be perfect.It also pulls out into a sofa bed which is what we've always wanted because we regularlyhave the in-laws visiting and it would be nice for them to have this bed to sleep in rather than havingto hike up all the stairs and stay in my daughters double and having her bunk in with us for thenight. It also holds storage space underneath, bonus!
Eivor Ord Double Quilt Cover & 4 Pillowcases in Black/White$24.99As soon as we passed this bedding on display my daughter instantly raced up to it and yelled"Mummy, Daddy! Look! Look! ABC bed! .... so she gets up onto it and says with the sweetest,most innocent smile, "I like ABC bed." :) Obviously we both couldn't resist and this is nowcovering her bed and I must say looks much nicer than I originally thought.
