A new YOU living room makeover!
It all started with me wanting to sell our couch, and then it turned into me just changing the whole living room altogether. I liked it ok before, but it just never felt like me. So I went a little crazy:) I wanted a couch from Ikea because there slip covers are MACHINE WASHABLE! Brilliant in my opinion especially when you have children. We already had a white chair from Ikea that I loved for that very reason, it always looks clean YEA! So the other deal going on at Ikea right this very minute is this.... If you spend a certain amount on living room furniture you get an Ikea gift card in return!!! So because I bought a new couch I got 100.00 from Ikea! YEA again! So anyway I bought a new rug coffee table, lamps and pillows, all thanks to my gift card. I sold my old lamps on KSL (I love that sight) for 70.00, and my old couch for 480.00. I put the money I got from those items towards my new living room. I then painted our armoir and put new hardware on it. So the total amount I spent on my new living room was.........!!! 86.00$$ Fabulous! I am still in the process of making new art work for the room, and making a sofa table for my lamps, but it is just about done! And now here is a before pic of the same room, and the lovely results (I think:) of the new room!
