Redecorating

Yesterday was pretty fantastic. The owner of the apartment that I am living in said that my roommates and I could price some things out for the apartment to make it a little more chic. So where did we go? Ikea of course! We spent three glorious hours wandering around taking pictures of stuff that we just had to have. Like this chandelier:



The picture doesn't do it justice. I'm pretty sure he won't approve it, but a girl can dream, can't she? We were mostly looking for a slipcover for our ugly but comfortable couch, kitchen and desk chairs, rugs and curtains. We are going for black, white and red. Mostly because that's what I like. Our kitchen area is already done in those colors and I have to admit, is really hot.

I also made a few (more like several) personal purchases. A new quilt, quilt cover, cute drinking classes, ice cube trays, pitcher, an apron and some storage containers. I totally want to go back and buy some Christmas decorations. They have some really cute lights.

Its nice that he has given you the opportunity to price some stuff up for your apartment and hopefully he will approve your ideas!

Have you thought of looking through the BHS sale products? They do a great range of homeware and with the sale you can get them at half the price.
