Our problem is we have very different shopping styles, Taylor says, you go in, get what you need and get out. Where as, I go in, get what I need, but as I'm walking up and down the aisles I see other things that I could use for meals, in the house (where ever I might be) that I didn't think of when I made my list!
So I made a wish list for IKEA...but I'm not sure if you've ever been there, the store is like a small city! You can hardly walk through the whole thing in less than an hour...let alone have to look at the items! So clearly Taylor's philosophy of walk in get what you need and get out, didn't pan out to well. He couldn't understand why I would need to look through all the areas to see what was available...you never know what you can use in different places in the house! I have been taught by my mom and Mama...with a little spray paint, or wood stain you can do wonders. So I'm always looking for options.
But finally after 2 1/2 hours in IKEA we decided on 2 shelves for downstairs and a matching tv stand. Luckily all of the items fit in my little Accord...that car can hold a lot thanks to the seats that fold down and opens up to the trunk! I have plans to go back down and add a few more things...but it's an hour + trip, so it will have to be another time.
And Taylor quickly found out why things are so cheap at IKEA after he put in 5-6 hours of labor putting the three pieces of furniture together! But he did it and they are up and running!
And I have included some pictures of the house that people have been asking for! I kept trying to wait until we got pictures hung, and I finally got some done today while Taylor was putting the shelves together! So, here we go...
The living room...
into the kitchen...
Other side of the living room...with the front door behind the chair. The steps to go upstairs are to the right of the door.
That door goes down to the basement and garage.
Our kitchen table, with the pretty poinsettia Monique and Brett brought us :)
Our cupboard and kitchen. I need some Christmas decorations for the top of the cupboard, I have greenery up there, but nothing to go in it!
Our 3rd bedroom that we turned into our closet.
The lovely wardrobes...
My bathroom :)
Our bedroom...I'm thinking it would look good green...but another project for another day!
The doors out to the balcony in our room.
Our sad guest bedroom...it needs a little work, a few pictures, and some visitors!
And here is our messy basement that is not put together yet, but it's getting there. Those are the shelves we bought at IKEA yesterday. We're still waiting on a couch and TV for down there.
And the back half of the basement with the desk and wardrobe...So there you have it...there is the Reynold's house Via Toronto, San Quirino!
Ciao, ciao.
The house looks amazing!
