I have been eyeballing the SNILLE visitor chair from Ikea for months & finally got it!

                                     So easy to assemble and gives my desk some modern flair. 

I got some other great IKEA things. I will take snapshots and share.
Look for photos soon!

Either I'm shrinking, or my coffee cup is getting larger.

Lately I feel like this is me most of the day.

I think it is a combination of a strong coffee addiction, and the delicious caffeine that drips out of my Keurig every day. They got me!

DIY Homemade Desk

Yesterday after buying the little white chair at the Salvation Army, I got that creative itch.
I decided to make a desk. I don't have a very large flat, so I had to be creative.

Some of you might remember this little chest I antiqued in a previous post last month.

Not wanting to add yet another piece of furniture to my already small place, I decided to turn this into a desk. I went over to Home Depot and had them cut a piece of wood to the size that I wanted. I then had them cut two legs down to match the height of the chest.
Two screws and a little paint later .. a desk!

I will get a better picture of it soon .. I was just too excited to share!

My little chair

I was browsing around at The Salvation Army today .. came across this adorable little chair.
I fell in love with how simple it is .. while adding a different texture with the seat.

$15

Yay for cheap furniture!

Another homemade canopy.

I decided my room was lacking some above the bed attention, so I went to Big Lots.
There I bought a vintage-inspired curtain rod ($6) & a window scarf. ($12)
There you have it .. a canopy for $18. :)


I also stopped at the Salvation army on my way home and found these pictures for $1.50 each.
Couldn't resist buying them all, they are so gorgeous and the frames are lovely as well.
