Color . Me . Happy

This morning I got up a pinch early and my mother and I made the hour-some drive down to IKEA. An hour isn't really that long of a drive, but if you're only doing it to go to one store, it sort of feels that way. So we make lists and then when our lists are long enough, head on down.



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!
