Isn't it cute???



And look at my new coffee table! Sooooo cute too!





I'm really excited. I'm moving in a few weeks and I'm treating myself to some new furniture. I've never purchased new furniture. Everything I have has been hand me downs (but decent ones, the desk I'm typing at is actually an antique dressing table I got from my grandmother). I've never really cared that much before but I love my new apartment so much and I finally decided it's time to have some fun new nice things. Yay me!
I've picked out a new bed as well, but I still need to find a small kitchen table and chair set (which I'm gonna go thrifting for cause I want a kind of retro feel) and I'll need another chair for the living room. But gosh, I'm getting so excited about my new place. Yay again!

Hey Carrie....

I like it! It remindes me of IKEA furniture.

That's cause it is IKEA furniture.

We finally got an IKEA in town and well, I'd been looking online for awhile and went to check 'em out tonight. I can't pass up a cute pink couch for less than $300.

Goodness, then wait till you see the new bed!

Will there be any future events of sexual related activity occuring on that couch?

I sure hope so. Being a single gal at the moment I can't say exactly when, but probably not soon enough.



Did I just say that?

CarrieMpls said:

PS- The covering comes completely off and is machine washable.

Sooooo cute

sosgemini said:

come on, there's some decent stuff at ikea....

certainly not EVERYTHING. looks cute in the store, which can make it very deceptive...

sosgemini said:

But see, I kinda like the idea of disposable furniture. It's very modern. Forces people to update their living space every so often.

CarrieMpls said:

And if you can tell me where else I'll find a cute pink couch for under $300 I'd totally look into it. Pink! If I found a pink couch anywhere else it'd be at least $1000. And I'd be lucky to find it.

Ikea sofas are pretty shit quality though

So if you want disposable furniture, hey! thats cool, but dont expect it to last more than a year.
