four years ago, the boy and i found new homes for all of our furniture and moved across the country to go to grad school. for our fresh start on decorating, i envisioned a whole lot of white with maybe some gray for accents. while all of our heavy furniture is white and wood, the cleanliness and simplicity is nice, but it turns out i like color too. i've mentioned before that we are big fans of ikea since it's really about how you combine pieces, not how much you spend on them. we made a trip last week to the bigger chicagoland ikea (yup, there are two and we are somehow equidistant from both.) and i thought i would share some of my favorite things to buy there.
p.s.
instructions for making the light fixture pictured above can be found over here.
