So I do a little shoplifting...

So, as you know Michael and I bought new couches (pictures soon I promise...I just want to get everything put away before I take pictures). We also wanted a coffee table and something a little sturdier to put the TV on. Something inexpensive and can also be used as something else later on if we ever get the chance to build our own stuff back in Wyoming (which is way cheaper for our taste in furniture. We can't bring ourselves to pay for vanier covered chipboard when we have relatives with a cabinet shop).

Someone suggested IKEA. Why didn't I think of that? Well, after getting lost in the store, trying not to get distracted by such cute furniture, and making mental notes of how I could do curtains, we picked out these guys.

A side table (which we are currently using as a coffee table) and a coffee table (that is holding up our TV). We found the DIY sets, plopped them in our cart, and checked out. To Do List: get TV stand...CHECK.

But too bad I had to go make a fool of myself at IKEA today to bring back the second side table we picked up on accident and didn't ring up at the self checkout. oops.
