More House Updates

I feel like I haven't posted about the house in forever! But that's going to change today - I've got lots to talk about and to show you today, as we had quite the weekend!

First up was a big Ikea run, parents in tow. J and I bought our couch; book shelf and DVD shelf; a small dresser for the closet; some lamps (ok, well, my mom bought those!); a mirror/medicine cabinet (which doesn't appear to be online...) for the master bath (if we really like it, we'll buy another for the upstairs hall bath which currently is sans mirror); new drapes (which I also cannot find online) for the living room (the ones currently hanging will be moving up to the master as they block too much light for the living room); a small filing cabinet for my office; and I'm sure we got something else... but I can't think of it now!

Next up came... assembly! Yikes! We worked on that Sunday and Monday and haven't put it all together yet... But here's what we've got so far:


{Our sweet little Pax - and J's even starting hanging some clothes!}


{The Malm and one of the lamps. The lamps will actually go on our nightstands...}


{The living room in it's semi-completed glory! As you can see we still need a TV stand!}


{Another living room view. The rug is made out of recycled plastic and is from Viva Terra}


{A peek into my very incomplete workspace. The desk, which was a beast to assemble, is actually from Wal-Mart - I know! I couldn't believe it either!}

And more news - we've slated this coming Saturday as MOVE IN DAY! I can't wait! Rest assured I'll have plenty more photos for you. Until then....
