I have been MIA but not idle...

Yes I moved again! This time a more permanent move. I moved near downtown and I love the artsy fartsy corky neighborhood. (fits my personality) The townhouse is older but well kept. As you can imagine I have many decorating ideas and have gone to countless home furnishing stores. I'm only showing a few pics because the house is not ready to be seen but I will definitely has a post of completed pictures.




I love my red door and my little lady friend that screens my guest


LOL!! I tried to label what is being added *FAIL* basically rugs, art on walls, new sofa and love seat, chocolate curtains, and more books, art, and candles on the shelf. The floors are absolutely beautiful!

I took this from the dining room that I am transforming to a office, design, reading, wine sipping, relaxation room. *yea im curious of the outcome of this room too lol*



This is a pic from the living room you can see the hall that leads to the front door, kitchen and stairs on the left side of the hall way is a guest restroom with a sliding door, marble counter tops, and floors. There is also a storage closet. The lighting is beautiful and able to be dimmed. I did my research and found out that each light fixture cost about $100.00 WIN! lol

and the charming patio I will add lights for the great get togethers and dinner parties


Thats all I can show for now the second level of the house has two bedrooms both with their own bathrooms some storage and a little hallway space. There is also an attic that I am terrified of opening lol

In addition I am still in school the website is completed just dealing with the ecommerce side of it and decorating my new home. I promise to get back on my blog updates!!

Im pretty much addicted... No matter how much they play me. Help!

So I have been carrying this IKEA catalog around for about 5 months. I am really impressed with the new items and prices....Anyways as you can see I have managed to inspect every page and pick my favorites. (lol notice the front cover is missing..idk) I'm starting with my room.





I fell in love with the tribal theme. I purchased the Red Orange TANJA BRODYR Duvet and pillowshams. I also got the VILMIE FIGUR pillow case.



Now although I love IKEA like cooked food, I must reveal some of the tricks they have up their sleeves! Look at the picture above. Look at that price. Looks great right? Look at the VILMIE pillow(black and white printed pillow). NICE? Well here is the reason the price is so low for the comforter! ITS REALLY A SHEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have to put a real comforter inside the comforter. I know you're thinking "huh?" that's why I provided pictures below. Also the The pillow is really a pillow case so I spent $10 on a case!! I had to find a pillow of those weird ass dimensions to fit inside.


OK that's my old comforter inside my new IKEA Duvet (What were they thinking?) LOL The little white circles are snap buttons, so the old comforter doesn't come out. smh

Over all I have grown accustom to this "situation" and STILL desire to spend countless hours inside IKEA. What can I say?....I'm addicted.
