Yesterday I went to Ikea to buy a TV cabinet. I had my eye on it from the start but I thought surely I can find something else that's french provincial, white and a bit fancier than Ikea? Many stores later and wasted Saturdays - I returned to Ikea. It was great to finally unpack the last box that held DVDs and knick knacks.
The soft furnishings have a long way to go, but I wanted to share a few little things that I have and love.

Vintage postcards from Belgrade from the 1920's. These are original. Handwritten with stamps on the back. Belgrade is a special place for B and I. It's where our love affair really took off :))
A vintage look postcard that the lovely V from In Sniff's Choos sent me from Paris. It's framed and takes pride of place on my dresser.
A "thing" I picked up at Ikea this week for $15. Plan is to paint it white and find a use for it. Perhaps to hold pot plants, a lamp or to hold fresh flowers in the spare room when guests stay over. Any ideas?
And hello from Monty!
I have postcards in my frames too :)
ReplyDeleteI have the same stool, same colour! we use it as a little table to put our drinks on in lounge room (no coffee table), then it's a stool when we don't have enough chairs!
<3 Monty!
It's very versatile isn't it!
ReplyDeleteI want to get a few more I think.
WAH!
ReplyDeleteMonty cutie PATOOTIE!!!
I love those black frames at Ikea, it's all we have in our casa.
Perhaps paint the stool a feature colour and use it to stack a big pile of magazines or books on... then put a bird cage or bowl on top of the stack of things to pop your keys and knick knacks in... everyone needs a keys and knick knacks bowl.
