With Christmas just around the corner, I'm trying to get those last minute gifts purchased so that next week I can relax and enjoy my family. Brad had a special request this year for a new drafting table/desk to use with his design work. He picked out a great table at Ikea so we headed to downtown Atlanta today!!
We're only about 45 minutes away (on a good traffic day) so it didn't take long to get there. We passed the Fox Theater on the way.....
I'm sure I looked like a goob, hanging out the window taking photos of random things, but don't you love the look of this old paint on a building?
A view out the sunroof....
These letters are HUGE on this store!!
The first thing I noticed after we were inside
was the incredibly low prices on their furniture!
I'd love a new sofa, love seat and chair ~
Of course, this is a wonderful sofa BUT
I tend to buy furniture the color of dirt....
it saves us all from TONS of stress...
They have tons of rooms that are decorated fully with Ikea goods...
it's quite modern for my taste but I still can appreciate the beauty ~
Now this is more my style....the color of dirt and NOT fabric....
(look at the prices if you click the photo it should enlarge)
I didn't understand the monograms on these pillows but loved them!
OK, now how wonderful would these cabinets be in a studio!!!! They resemble old medical cabinets....love, love these!
Love this sink ~
A kitchen more my style ~
These were beautiful ~ they had that mercury glass look...
Great shelving reasonably priced ~
Here's the desk Brad wanted for Christmas....
it's going to work out perfect for him being in design school!
You can see it
HERE online ~
The options were endless as you can create your own table/desk....
I loved these frames ~
Oh, and you know the giant curtained wall in my studio/the old garage? This is the contraption that Brad used going from one side of the garage to the other to hide the garage door. Plus he used FIVE king sheets hung on it to disguise the door :)
Tiny toddler beds ~
Oh sweet Clara....I want to buy this for you SO bad!!!
Isn't it wonderful? A child's play kitchen ~
Amazing storage containers and
they can even hang on a knob on the wall.
More neat storage, I love this!
This ~
I wanted to buy one of these with the nine drawers
but they were out of them ~ maybe next time!
Tons of lighting ~
Beautiful canvas artwork ~
And here's Brad getting his desk from the shelves,
you write down it's location in the showroom and grab it here!
And then, headed home!!! It was so much fun,
I'm already hounding Dennis that we just HAVE to go together,
he will love it!! (Well, maybe....)
Our sweet Clara is doing so much better today,
thank you so very much for your thoughts and prayers.
After several doses antibiotics and steroids she's making progress.
We had dinner with them and she was still the sweetest,
smilingest (is this a word?) thing ever!
I found several goodies for Clara at Ikea...
I'll share a photo of them tomorrow ~
I hope you enjoyed the field trip and
didn't mind the massive amount of photos in this post!!
Wishing you an amazing Friday dear friends ~
hugs and love, Dawn
