Ikea Wish List

I recently posted about this amazing rug the boyfriend and I found at Ikea and since there is nothing to do today but sit inside (betch Irene closed everything including my precious starbucks!) I decided to finish decorating my dream living room off Ikea's website.

1. HEMNES tv unit with two additional side bookcases

2. HEMNES side table, going to buy two and use as coffee table

3. EKTORP sectional couch

4. EKTORP love seat

5. Eivor Cirkel Rug

6. Benjamin Moore Pain in Chilli Pepper Red

Rugs

Yesterday, the boyfriend and I took the water taxi out to the Ikea in Brooklyn (a must do for anyone who lives in the city) and started dreaming about new decorations for the house.  I believe strongly that a rug can pull a whole room together and I have decided to decorate our entire living room around this rug.

Can't wait till it gets here so we can start decorating!

Re-Decorating

I have an itch. No, not that kind. The itch to to redecorate mine and T's living room.  Our living room looks like a frat house after a rager.  It's gross and extremely outdated.  We are living off hand me downs while we save up some money to redecorate it all at once.  I, the magazine addict, can't help but pick up issues of House Beautiful and these are a couple of the living rooms in the latest issues that inspire me.  Which one is your favorite?
