So as you can see this three day weekend has been a successful one. All of this came together really quickly and I ran with it. On Friday night my mom and I went to TJ Maxx and struck it rich with pillows and cool decorative ampersand signs.
On Sunday we then went to Ikea for the first time and I got two coffee tables and a light fixture there. The coffee tables are simple round tables with glass tops. I got two because one would just look weird and two of them together would be pretty. So yeah, we got two. The light fixture is a table lamp that is kind of cool and modern. I am not sure how to describe it but when I start putting my room together I'll take pictures.
After Ikea, I then headed over to Homegoods. I was so excited to walk in there and I found so many cute accessories for around the room, but I couldn't get them.....they weren't expensive, they were to fragile, and they weren't ugly. I couldn't get them because I had found a beautiful chair and not everything would fit in the car. The chair was a gray over sized comfy sofa seat that happened to also be a recliner. I was then obsessed with it and the price. The chair was originally over $400 but we got it for just under $200. If that isn't a steal, I don't know what is. So after purchasing the chair and the two tables at Ikea, we somehow had to fit it all in my CR-V. It was a feat, but we accomplished the daunting task.
On Monday my mom and I headed over to some weird store by us and I had such a closed-mind thinking we wouldn't find anything, but I was wrong. When we first walked in we found a cheap long mirror that I'm going to put on the back of my door, it was a simple but needed find. We then started walking towards the back of the store where we found a beautiful wall piece. It was a huge and gorgeous sunburst mirror that will be the focal point above my bed.
Perhaps the biggest accomplishment of this weekend was cleaning out ALL MY DRAWS AND CLOSET. I haven't really done this since my freshmen year or so, so you can only imagine how much I threw out.
SEVEN BAGS OF DONATED CLOTHES LATER, my draws are finally cleaned out and ready to be transferred all to one dresser.
So yeah, as I said in the beginning, this weekend was a total success; but the next feat that I must accomplish is painting the room.....wish me luck.
