Trip To IKEA

Getting the practical stuff for the house and some tidbits from IKEA turned out to be fun! Wheeling through aisles (who doesn't like buggy rides?) and fifty-cent hot dogs is a great way to spent your Thursday. Among the things we bought is a comic-art painting, two stool bars, some behind-the-door hangars, 3 canvas paintings (one is of a wall painting, another is Buddha), a Michael Angelo sculpture (of just the head), some wall shelving I'm going to re-paint and some mugs. 

We got a couple of these and I'm reupholstering some seat pads!

This dish rack is one of my favourite. Quite modern.

This was a piece I liked because it isn't a traditional bookshelf and looks like a ladder. Sold!
Other things we've checked off for our next visit is kitchen shelving, cutting board, a small desk\laptop table, bed, rug, 2 mirrors, plates, more wall shelving and the items in the picture. As for the decor, I prefer to visit this vintage shop on Queen St West that has amazing prices and some cool pieces (like this ultra modern coffee table)
