Ikea

Tomorrow will be our big trip to Ikea. I hope to get shelves, brackets and drawer fronts for the kitchen, a light fixture for SY's room,cabinets for the bathroom, and a light fixture and Expedit for the basement. Wish me luck!

I ordered it!!

Dear reader, I ordered almost EVERYTHING!

From Overstock, I got the guitar rug and bathroom penny tiles (unglazed).

From Restoration Hardware, I ordered the schoolhouse pendants in oiled bronze and the semi-flush in oiled bronze as well.

I didn't order the lantern from Pottery Barn only because it isn't available until June 29, so maybe I'll buy the antique one I saw at Bibi Lighting.

Wish me luck!!!

Bathroom

So, I've been thinking about my bathroom and updating it, even a bit. It's that retro pink and black tiled look. I happen to love the tiled floor--it's a sort of off-black hexagon subway tile. It's time to replace it, though--all chipped. Here is some inspiration.

What do you think of white tiles? These are so well priced from overstock.com with dark grey grout.

In SY's room update, he chose the guitar rug (also from overstock)
