This Armoire is amazing! From LivingEtc.
Sooo, now I’m inspired to find an Entertainment Armoire to paint for my living room…

I’m planning a trip to Ikea today for this:
Stokholm Rug, they had an 8×10 in the as is department Monday night. I’m crossing my fingers that it is still there today. I need a big rug to cover the floors in the living room. And rugs are too expensive for my blood. And I happen to LOVE this rug. If I had the money to get it Monday I would have.

So, I’m off to ride my bike to the bank, and then come back and cruise over to Ikea in hopes of soming home with this lovely piece of floor covering, and, maybe a coffee table?

I also need some sort of Entertainment unit/ TV stand. Not today, though… unfortunately.

I came home last week to this: New windows!!!!! They are updating all the windows in our complex this month. So far only the upstairs is done. But, they started the downstairs windows in other units, so I’m waiting ever so patiently for our time to come. It’s going to be so nice in our NEW living room. I took this photo as soon as I walked into my room and saw. I left the drapes off for like 3 days, I was so pleased with them.

The Windows before we SCARY…

They actually don’t look half bad in this photo. But they are so dirty on the outside… andthe metal is just a mess, and not all of the locks work… which is my biggest complaint. They screwed the screens on from the outside,I assume as a locking device. Seriously, I ripped the screen with my key… Screwing them isn’t keeping anyone out.

Grosssss. And yes I do clean them, from the inside. It’s all I can do. There’s a thumb tack in there acting as a locking device also. pretty sad. It doesn’t work. Don’t tease me, I tried a few things. On this window I ended up putting on of the working locks on, because I ripped the screen from the outside.

So, I may have my couch. It’s in San Bruno, and my dad is coming with me to look at it today at 530, and possibly bring it to my house if all goes as planned. I’m pretty stoked on it from the photos.
It looks similar to this, but this is not it exactly.

But, it’s got the chaise that come out on the side, which I LOVE. It’s Grey Microfiber. It just keeps getting better. I love that it’s grey. I hope all goes as planned, when I see it in person!
