New Love

image

I think we need something similar to this – I really wish we can have our own house soon. Everything here is exactly do-able with IKEA and the neighborhood friendly office store!

I’d prefer more comfortable chairs though as I spend almost 12 hours a day in front of the computer seven days a week (if I can’t help it). Working from home, I need a good working environment so I can work in peace and focus.

Office Spaces

Since I work from home, I never tire of looking for effective work spaces for myself. My preferences change over time, fickle-minded as I am.

I just want it to be conducive enough for me to be able to work – that’s my main criteria. For it be filled with everything I need and have space for everything I tend to have is the second :)

My first choice: (Since I love Ikea!)

Great for the husband and I:

Reading Nook and Chair

I love this simple idea of having a shelf for books and a nook for reading. A real way to implement in a room for couples. Notice there is also a space for a computer where the woman is seated. (Only she is using a typewriter). I will be tucking this away for an idea on our future house. All IKEA equipment too.image

IKEA Modern Bedroom

I think you would be sleeping peacefully if you had a bed like the one in the picture! You would not be needing the best eye cream for dark circles because chances are you will be sleeping in more often! I have seen the headboard in different pictures and I think you can replace it with a fabric of your choice. I personally love the pillows and the hanging shelves. Plus everything is white!

POÄNG Armchair IKEA

Wouldn’t you love to have an armchair like this? The back is high enough to graciously curve the entire back for support!

I would love to have this as a Christmas gift, I am still using a monoblock chair for my computer desk and while I still don’t have any complains, I am sure I would be more comfortable with this kind of chair. I don’t dare dream of owning this one right now though as we are still paying off a couple of purchases on installment from our card. We should be wise not to overspend or else we would need  credit card debt settlement.

Storage Systems

I have been doing a little spring cleaning lately because school season starts in less than a week. I first tackled our clothes closet and I realize I badly need a dresser for my make-up, skin care, lotion and accessories. I also need little compartments for my underclothes and socks. It’s a good thing I don’t need to get any payday advance for these organizers because they come dirty cheap at IKEA.

I have two of these already. I think I need to get two more so we can have a set for each one of us in the family.

KOMPLEMENT Boxes

I will count the shoes we have that need to be boxed (the pricey ones) and I will buy more of these too:

And I need this for my watches, earrings and small make-up stuff:

IKEA Sofa Swivel Bed

 

image

CHELSI Two Seat Sofabed

A simple and modern take on sofa yet designed for a quick set up bed. Comes with pillows for added comfort; Changeable covers; Size perfect for small spaces.

Dimension: Sofa Length: 120 cm; Depth: 95 cm; Seat Height: 40 cm; Bed: 192 cm (L) x 120cm (W)

 

I would love to get this bed, we are thinking of replacing our living room couch and this would make a great sleep bed for guests. I guess I need to talk it over with the husband if we can afford to get this at this time. Or we can use his payday advance loan benefit and get this. It’s not our priority right now anyway, maybe if there is one on sale we will get it right away.

Look at how many styles one sofabed can have!

image image image image image image image image image image

This is really perfect for small spaces – like our house! It comes in four swatches (the cover is washable) and while I would love to get one in white or tan, I know black would be our only option since we have kids who dirty the house all day.

IKEA Houses

I have a lot of home decorating, interior decorating, home improvement blogs in my Google Reader. I also subscribe to a lot of self-improvement blogs. These blogs inspire me and teach me a lot of things. It’s one of the things that you love about the internet – the endless trove of information. Aside from auto insurance reviews, you also get to know and read real feedback from real people.

And based on the reviews, IKEA never disappoints. I have a got a lot of picture of houses furnished almost exclusively by IKEA furniture. When we have  our own house, you bet it will be inspired by IKEA stuff.

IKEA Model Rooms

Who isn’t in love with IKEA? I love to browse their catalogues whenever they have a new one out. It helps to indulge myself in their ideas – their rooms are pretty yet functional, stylish but modern and seem to be low-maintenance. Not that much can be said about acne vitamins (you need to consistent in taking them and they can be such a pain if you develop allergies to it!)

Here are model rooms that will make you drool!

Pretty and white, but still lived in
I love how this room shows that you don’t need to always use pretty decorative boxes. Clear plastic containers are no fail, and even I use utility shelves in my office. For a busy lifestyle and tight deadlines nothing beats it. And this image shows that it can look nice as well.
Oh how I would love to have a daybed in my office…I’m just afraid that I would use it as a "sleep all day" bed

Amazing storage and workspace!


Isn’t this bedroom glamorous?

New Ikea Line

I am drooling over Ikea’s new line! Have you seen their latest catalogue? If only we have enough funds to buy a few things, I am sure our house will be lovelier.

We can always avail of the cash advance benefit my husband gets from his company’s bank (where his payroll goes through) but we need to prioritize the things we really need for the house for now.
