Back to Ikea!

"Inspiration Rooms"

Love the pillows in this picture. I tired to buy something like the black and white ones at Ikea (see below). I bought three of them. Now I am on a hunt for something a little less busy in orange and white like pictured.

Stenciling looks AWESOME! Hoping to pull this off in black.

Today, Carson's mom and sister (Cheryl and MaKesha) were going to Ikea and invited us along. I have a lot on my want list but I was pretty much just going to get some pillows, or so I thought! HA! = )

We are working on decorating our basement. Carson went to OSU so we want to do somewhat of a Beavers theme but I also want to keep it classy and not all sporty. I am working with an orange, black a and white color palate. I know that the wall behind our t.v. I want to stencil like Brooke at All Things Thrifty. (By the way, Brooke is sooooo creative and I HAVE to check her blog everyday because I am pretty much obsessed!) I want our wall to be stenciled in black.

I am going to touches of orange around the room. Here are some of the things we bought today!

The mirror above is not the actual one we got, we got one with a dark black/brown border (not white).

Next on the "to buy list":

Our house was built in the 1940's. I LOVE the house but really hate how small the closets are. My clothes are all over the house and none in our bedroom. Carson has some in our room and some in the guest room. We decided it is time to buy an armoire and we really like the one above! That will probably have to be next months buy!

It was really nice spending time with Carson, his mom and sister! Ikea is always fun but going with others who are excited to buy and decorate makes it even that much better!
