our family room…

our family room has been basically a storage room for all things that don’t have a home!  old picture frames, my current projects, recycle cardboard…you name it, we had it stored in this room!  so, finally the other day my husband and i decided to convert it into a room that the kids can do homework, crafts, and games in.  so, after figuring out the general layout we took a trip to ikea and purchased a great white table.  it has two sizes and the extra leaf hides underneath the table. the chairs are from ikea too, i love the turquoise color, i need some boldness in my decorating and these did the trick!  right now our store has these fold up chairs for $10!  i also bought the white chairs from ikea and i just love how they look and how comfortable they are.  i just happened to find two of the white ones in the “as is” section, i got it for 35% off the original price.  my friend elisabeth has me trained to check out this section of ikea!  love it! so stayed tuned for more updates!  thanks for visiting!!!

i had a huge glass cut for the table.  since i plan to do most of my crafts on this table, i really didn’t want to worry about damaging the table!  So, having the glass for protection was a must.

love this orchid plant i bought from ikea. i placed the roots in another glass vase which i got from the ikea too!  our store has them in stock right now…
