So... aside from being a very contemporary, chic, and stylin place to snag simple decor ideas, this monstrosity of a building that contains all that brain power is actually quite business genius. - They get you there because it is unavoidable... too large to walk on by. No really... see how unsafe these huge buildings are for the highways...
- You can't argue with how cheap it all is-
- You know where it goes in your house- for heavens sake- they show you!
- And, the place comes complete with a cafe that actually produces some quality food-type products for very inexpensive.
So, after the last IKEA trip... my apartment is finally finished!!
(with the exception of the table cloth I have yet to sew.. yes, that is the sound of me... becoming my mother...)
This would be the tulips my roommate bought: $80
Chinese Globe: $6, Set of two curtains with subtle black print (Oh-so-cute): $15, 2 Squiggly mirrors: $20, Festivus (our little wooden man- full name= Festivus for the Restivus): $6.

Very Cute and turning into your Mother? Hmmm. Well good luck with that! It mean crazy busy, ADD type behaviors and tablecloths, dont forget tablecloths. I heart the new look. Every dwelling could use perking up just for fun. Rock on girls!
ReplyDeleteI love your fun decorations...and I love the wall of randomness. I think I'm just too chicken to try it at my house. Anyway, how are you doing? Are you coming down for Charlie Brown? Maddi is stinkin' cute, she's like a taller-mini Megan (if that makes sense). You're awesome...that's all!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with the fact that Ikea buildings are somewhat dangerous to those driving on the adjacent freeways! Oh, and I love your thriftiness. I too love a bargain, but am not as good as you at getting them! I actually have that tulip picture hanging in my green room too! Super cute, as usual.
ReplyDeleteLUV LUV LUV it! Okay, so shopping on a dime...LUV IT! IKEA is my fav. Your decor looks fab!
ReplyDeleteYou're apartment looks so cute! I have not been over for so long, I will have to come over sometime to see it in real life!
ReplyDeleteHey there stranger. Seems that I only get to see you at weddings, but now I can see you all the time! My sis told me about blogging and now I am stalking all the old "480's" and I love it. You are so stinking cute. Ps- you need to marry my bro who is also cute so we could be related! just a thought. tell Peg Hi for me!
ReplyDeleteHey Megan, very cute apartment! And your sister was AMAZING last night at "you're a good man cb"! We had to rush out after the play because we had grandparents to go see before bedtime! And now I feel 1-regret...for not taking the opportuniy to catch up and 2- like a bad friend! So as "cyber-Stacy" I am saying, Hi! I hope all is well. It is fun to look at you blog and see what you are up to.
