There was no furniture shopping for either of us today, but we did end up with a slew of other things. Most of my purchases were items that came in pretty apple green, which is a color that I'm obsessed with, and trying to work into every room in the house. I got some decorative storage boxes for the entertainment center (to hide the dvds and such), a pretty velvet blanket and throw pillow (for different rooms), and the largest purchase was an apple green rug for the office!
The only downside: I had to put the cardboard storage boxes together, I kid you not -- 12 screws in each box!! Ugh. {But they look lovely now!}
I hope everyone else is having a wonderful start to their week as well!

I love Ikea housewares - not Ikea housewares shopping is one of the few downsides to having an "almost" done house... LOVE the green too!
I'm a fan of that bright Crayola crayon green! It's so chipper.
Ooh, I'm a green girl. Apple and kelly are two of my absolutely favorite colors, and I'm really into everything white right now too, so your post was a great start to my morning! This room is amazing. Must buy something green today...
P.S. My closest IKEA is almost 3 hours away :( I really need some shelves, comtenplating just having them shipped (although that's not nearly as fun).
I have those boxes and I love them, they've held up well, at least 2 years now.
Shopping adventures w/ your mom are always fun. I like the apple green! Show pics if you can :)
Green is one of my fave colours. An hour drive to Ikea? Ouch. Actually, maybe it would be better for me if our Ikeas, here in Vancouver, were further away;) Happy that you found heaps to buy!
If any one store deserves a special shopping excursion, it's IKEA. And from the sound of it, it seems like you bought a lot of nice goodies!
BTW, assembling their stuff is part of the fun ;o)
