Update: Couch!

Well, I am no longer dazed, confused or couch-less, yes! Here she is!
 No- she doesn't have a real name... Well, technically she does, the name on the box was Anita, or something like that. I'm just sayin' I'm not going around calling her Karlita...

'Speaking' of YHL, I've been inspired. Since I've never really liked the 'picture wall' above the old love seat and need to rework it anyway... I'm thinking a photo collage a la Young House Love style. And good thing IKEA opened yesterday!!! Now I can go shopping for affordable frames and other home goodies!
See that big wall with awkwardly hung photos? That's the spot! There's also another new 'spot', one for a chair...
 Can I show you what I am DYING for? It's this:
And it is my baby. No- not Kyla! The chair!  (Okay, Okay, she's my first baby)
Wanna see more? I thought you would, thanks for asking :)
It's at Pier 1
And yes, that is seersucker and linen.  I die.
 Someday- if this goes on sale, or more like, clearance. It's mine- and you had better be notifying me if you see it!!! Pleeeease???? :) Who knew an "accidental" craigslist ad would lead to an entire room makeover? Now we are rethinking the window treatments and side tables too.
 In time, in time. I've already made my spontaneous decision for the year ; D

    5. Seersucker and linen? I knew you were hiding some Southern love in your heart. Can't you just imagine sipping sweet tea in it?

  3. Super fun - LOVE the couch. I've kind of been wanting a big sectional like that too. Hmmm...don't think David would be too happy if I put our new couches on Craigslist tho : (
