My husband and I just returned from a bonfire without the fire. The plan was to all gather for a potluck dinner and end the evening around a campfire but
unfortunately the weather has been so dry and warm the state is under a fire ban. So, instead of a campfire we ate our dinner and than pulled up our chairs around a cleverly arranged flashlight. It felt good to swap stories with good friends and enjoy good food.
My sister has me hooked on a new website called Pintrist. I have become
obsessed with "pinning" things and creating my boards. This new website has become a good place for me to put my ideas, recipes I want to try and furniture on my wish list :) As soon as we got home from the campfire I
immediately logged into Pintrist and found a gorgeous mirrored desk from West Elm. The desk is truly stunning and was placed at the top of my wish list for the living room!!
That's all for today, I have a husband and a good movie to get back to :)
After much debate and searching, Jon and I finally settled on a new couch for the living room. Because we don't have a lot of space we knew we wanted something a bit more streamlined and comtemporary. No overstuffed leather sofa for us! Being newly-wed we also knew we didn't want to have to pay a lot for the sofa. After all there are more pieces we would like to get for the living room besides a sofa :) Earlier in the week we found an entertainment set in a dark chocolate brown color at Ikea. While we were shopping at Ikea we came across the perfect sofa in a grey/white patterned fabric. The look was perfect! I was hesitant about purchasing a sofa from Ikea but Jon eventually won me over with the price (and after sitting on one for awhile in the store I realized they were quite comfortable.) What helps to make Ikea furniture so cheap is all the pieces are self-assembled. After the couch and the entertainment set Jon and I have spent some great time bonding over assembling instructions :) The great part is, the sofa is wide enough so if we remove the back cushions it makes up a twin bed. Perfect for a small, one bedroom apartment!
