I finished picking stuff out for my new place from Ikea!
I have a black futon that I'm working with for the living room area, and I'm going for a rich/warm Moroccan type mood. The walls are beige.
I looked up some decorating tips and learned that all the large pieces of furniture should match, as they will be the "anchor" of the room, so I just went with simple black for the coffee table.
Picked out this rug for the floor:
And these accent cushions for the futon, to bring out the colors in the rug, and the futon coverings (deep red/beige/hint of dark green):
I also have one of those tall floor lamps, the kind that everyone has...except mine has a lava lamp built into it, which I thought was cheesy, but now I think it'll actually add some warm and quirky mood light. The lava is red too, so it'll match, heheh.
I'm keeping my old dressers, which I've had since I was 12. They match pretty well with the theme I want going in my bedroom. The walls are painted a soft light yellow.
Since I slept on my futon, I have to buy a new bed! I picked out this frame:
This duvet cover/pillow shams:
With these sheets/pillow cases:
And for an extra bit of color, this throw blanket and pillow:
Annnnnnd that's it!! When I'm all moved in (Tuesday! Omg!), I'll take pics.
:D |

Hahah, yeah I know. Unfortunately it's not in my budget right now. I'm going with a mid-range priced mattress from Ikea...I figure it'll last me a few years, and then I can buy a really good one. The other thing is, I can't fit a box spring up the windy staircase in my new place. So a foam mattress is ideal.
S'all good, my bf is giving me his space-foam mattress as well, for added comfort.
Besides, anything is an upgrade from a ty futon mattress, lol. |

I love it! I love all the wood, the floors, and the wainscoting in the bathroom (and the tub!). I just love older houses, period. So much more character.
I really dislike the turquoise on the exterior though, please tell me you're going to paint it?! |

I recognize a Whirlpool fridge when I see it!
*does the moonwalk*
I like that stairway and tub too, and the kitchen sink. Seems like there are some pretty unique features in the house. Congratulations on the purchase! |
