My New Bedroom...

The Husband and I spent most of Saturday at IKEA. We decided that we were going to change up our bedroom instead of wasting money on the whole Valentine's thing. We are sometimes a very practical couple. We couldn't afford to purchase a new bed frame just yet. We are saving for that. It will be our next IKEA purchase in a few months, perhaps?

So, here are a whole lotta pics...

This is my bedroom BEFORE...mostly IKEA stuff in red and purple.

This the AFTER...new IKEA stuffs. White, blue and green.

New curtains, which I love...

Close up of curtains...trees with leaves and birds.

New night stands and lamps too.

New lamp...close up. Has flowers and leaves on it.

Another view...Hanging plant.

Here is a list of things we purchased for the bedroom...from IKEA:

I think my bedroom is much brighter now. It's amazing what changing a few small items can do to a room. I think the bed that Hubby and I are eventually going to buy is this one. It did not strike me as one that I would want until I actually physically saw it in the store. Now I love that bed. The bed frame doesn't cost that much, but the delivery to my apartment is really expensive. I may also buy a white book shelf, eventually. We will see...

I may not blog at all tomorrow. I have design work to actually do. I am writing a pattern. I finished and blocked the knit sample...now for the actual writing, formatting, etc. So, fair warning...I will be a bit busy. I am also going to begin prepping for my first Knit Along...which will start April 1st. I will share more info on that some time this week, promise.

Have a pleasant evening, everyone...
