Hello! It's been a few days I know - I hope you all had a great weekend. Ours was extremely low key, which was perfect. It was so rainy here this weekend, so I had no desire to do anything too exciting.
One of my goals for this year was to finish decorating the house. We have been here almost 4 years and everything is still not the way I envision. I've also come to realize that I don't think a home is ever done being decorated. There are always things to tweak, add and update.
Lately we seem to (finally) be updating a few things...
One of the perks of having an Ikea couch is the fact that you can change the slipcovers. During our last trip, we found out that they were discontinuing our couch and the slipcovers were on clearance! We bought this lighter gray color and love it. It looks like we got a whole new couch for a fraction of a price!
J's Star Wars room is still coming along. We recently added a decal to his wall and have bought some pictures to hang up. There are other things I want to do, like buy curtains and/or a carpet that is striped or some sort of print so the room doesn't look too "Star Wars-ish".
This wall above this green cabinet is killing me - it's so tall, and I'm not quite sure what to do. Should I put something big? Do a gallery wall? Add shelving? AHH! So clueless. But I need to do something, because my kids have already asked who the kids in the frame are and if they are related to us. I think having the frame with the pictures of the model kids in them have thrown the kids off, haha.
I ordered this pillow from Etsy and can't wait to get it. I think the message is so sweet! We're always together, so the message is very fitting.
Right now we are using the Ikea Liatorp sideboard as our tv console. I recently got the idea to buy another tv console and push the Liatorp Sideboard into the kitchen and convert it into a coffee bar. Now to just find the perfect console; I'm on the Home Goods hunt!
Little by little things are coming along! I'm excited for all of the little changes.
Have a great day! xx

So cool that you have an almost instantly new couch! Ikea is the best!
What if you put seasonal photos in the frame above that cabinet? Like right now you could have some Fall themed pics (doesn't have to be people), and then you can change it out as you want...along with the rest of the house decor? Just a thought--or you could keep the model kids--theyre basically family at this point right? lol
I love how the "new" couch came together - ikea is so great like that!! Can't wait to see how the coffee bar comes together! xo, Biana BlovedBoston
I LOVE that quote on the pillow! I just saw a print with the exact wording and want to order it for our house. Your house is beautiful!
What a fabulous couch, love the picture collage. Such a fabulous pillow.
such a cute pillow! and that couch looks so comfy. we have a sectional and i LOVE it. xo jillian - cornflake dreams
You're making me want an Ikea couch! How awesome is it you can just add a slipcover to it and it changes it up so much? And even better that it was on clearance!! Love that pillow too! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
Everything looks great!!! You did a lovely job!! :-) Love the pictures above that green cabinet too. I hope that you are having a great week so far too!!
Loving the new couch cover! We're in desperate need of a new TV console, too - let me know what you find!!
LOL at your kids asking about the kids in the photos-- that totally probably does seem so strange to them though. I know this isn't the point, but I love that green cabinet! You have such a great space.
Loving that green cabinet! And how awesome that you scored the slip covers on clearance! We are in serious need of updating our couches, and are looking for a nice sectional for the family room. That light gray color is perfect <3

That pillow is so sweet! I think my eyes starting watering as I read it! It's to bad that couch is discontinued because it is gorgeous, and that slipcover is the prettiest color. Love the updates!

Love it all! So cool that you can change out your couch like that. And Mason would love the Star Wars room!
We looove IKEA furniture, too! That couch looks so comfortable, and I love that you can get slip covers. Also, that Star Wars room is phenomenal! You're doing such a great job :)
I love the new couch cover! Ikea is the best! I also love the wall - have you thought about just wallpapering it so make it pop?
I agree - I don't think you're ever done decorating or updating, it seems like there's always something that needs to be added or changed. Love how the couch looks!
Love what you're doing. The couch looks great and I have been loving that quote on that pillow!
Etsy pillow OBSESSED!!!! xx
I'm sure washable cushion covers are a savior with kids and pets. I should have though about that before purchasing our couch. Puppy fur everywhere!
The couch is perfect!! The Etsy pillow - love!!
ugh love ikea!
