B&B, so nice to see you back!
I love the furniture pieces! I can just picture what will look nice on the walls - a large picture that pulls all those colors in! Do you have a Home Goods?
I can see it too!!
Welcome back, B&B
Good morning and so nice to come on this morning once more to extra shares, thank you all.
Welcome back, B&B! I hope you did have a happy birthday!
Hug, Pea, and doggie prayers.
Dad will be going to Ikea sometime today. I hope he finds something. We have to use every inch if this apartment's small space so that can be a challenge. How blessed we are, of course, to have the space period. He's mostly looking for a big bookcase or cabinet to replace a broken one along with nightstands and of course, new kitchen chairs. I'll let you all know what he ends up getting.
Have a lovely Wednesday, friends! (Wow it's already mid-week)! I shall be back later.
Aww, thanks.
I had a very quiet birthday; DH and I stayed home and ordered pizza for dinner, and the kids all called me or messaged me.
There is a Home Goods about 10 minutes from me; right next to the Target and Kohls (along with about 20 other shops); it's a dangerous area for me to be with a credit card.
There's also an At Home, the opposite direction, about 15 minutes away.
The couch is called 'sunflower'; the chair is 'sand'; the lamps are 'blue' (a kind of smokey blue) and the rug has all those + beige and brown. The dining room is 'champagne', but to me, the table looks more like wet sand, with a dark clay stripe, and the chairs like sand. DH picked all the furniture out this time, so I'll tell him y'all approve. I'll take any and all help on the decorating, because I am not very good at it at all.
Dumbo: we have some Ikea bookshelves. They were a pain to put together, and one came with warped boards, but they look nice. They aren't very secure unless they are bolted to the wall, though. It's 4 Ikea bookshelves together, 2 of one size, 2 of another.
The other shelf holding our small collection of alcohol is from Target, and is not sturdy at all. It wobbles like crazy, even bolted to the wall. We are looking for a bar cabinet to fit with the dining room table. We have a couple of these Room Essential shelves, including one in our bedroom that holds our socks/undergarments/pjs in bins, and they are all wobbly. We do have another brand of shelf, Sauder, that we got at Target, that is much sturdier and barely moves.
On today's food agenda: I made a french vanilla cake, with a lemon curd filling, and a vanilla marshmallow frosting. (no recipes, nothing from scratch). Tonight is either citrus pork tacos with pickled onion and southwest crema (if the Hello Fresh box gets here on time), or if not, then frozen breaded fish patties, frozen fries and broccoli coleslaw (emergency meal for times like that). Lunch is leftovers from last night: my first attempt at oko...ono...uh, Japanese veggie pancakes. They didn't stay together too well, but they were good!
's to you
