Thank You Ikea

Hank refuses to acknowledge that Ikea is good for anything other than the big, blue bags.

He hates the fact that the minute Josh and I return from Ikea, instead of giving him our full attention, Josh immediately strews pieces of furniture everywhere and ignores us both for hours. I know I gave a little tease of my new dresser a couple months ago, but I have finally gotten around to showing the final product.

TA DA!!!

This is my lovely blue dresser from Ikea, in one functioning piece thanks to my patient, talented boyfriend. I was smitten with this dresser the minute I laid eyes on it. Better yet, Josh felt the same way! So it was settled. This would be my wardrobe's new home in our bedroom. So long tupperware bins! Well, most of them... You might find one or two if you look under our bed.

This bedspread just so happened to coordinate with the dresser, so it had to come home too! My next project is to have some primary colored details casually placed about to give our bedroom more character. I am thinking a bench for the end of the bed would be a nice touch. Let's not let me get too carried away, but hanging some artwork will be my final victory. I cannot believe it has taken me this long to finally get this apartment put together, but I am happy that it is coming along.

So far this year I have epically failed at my resolution to post more often, but at least this is a start. See you soon!
