New Furniture for a New House

Have you ever heard the story of the time my parents cleaned and moved everything into our apartment while Matt and I were on our honeymoon? Well they did. Anna was there too (my exchange sister from Spain who was also a bridesmaid in our wedding) I almost had a heart attack when we walked into the apartment after returning from our cruise. Who in the world had brought all this furniture in and cleaned up the place??

My parents are pretty amazing. That is probably the biggest, nicest surprise anyone has ever given me. And out of the generosity of their hearts, they gave us their 25 year old couch and rocking chair. Our other home furnishings include an old kitchen table and chairs from a couple at church, a coffee table set from a garage sale, a nice tv stand from Target (wedding gift from Anna) a dresser and vanity from my old room at home, and a (new) box springs and mattress. Throw in a small end table and lamp bought with our wedding gift cards from Target and that pretty much summarizes our current furniture selection. Hardly glamorous, but highly functional for a couple of newlyweds with little savings in the bank.




That picture is just a little taste of all our beautiful furniture. How do you like that floral print couch from the 80's?? Or how bout that round brown chair from my college dorm room?

Getting a new house means getting a new set of furniture to go in it. How do you like this kitchen table we picked out from Value City Furniture?



And our bedroom furniture is coming from IKEA from the beautiful Hemnes line.


And I would love to get a scroll style wrought iron bed frame.





And of course we are going to need a few pieces for the sunroom, as it is one of the main reasons we loved our new house to begin with! Thinking about this Karlstad love seat from IKEA....

Along with a nice modern glass table with black wrought iron chairs.




Just giving you a little taste of what I like. Still have 2 months to pick everything out. (And hopefully find some amazing sales!) So....what is your furniture style?
