Out With The Old ~ In With The New

Well, finally, the  green is gone!  I have been wanting a new sofa for quite a while, and recently, found a matching sofa and loveseat on Craigslist.  They are from Ikea...I got them both for $250.00.  Sooo...today I sold my old sofa on Craigslist for $100.00.

Of course, they have a black slipcovers currently, but I will soon be purchasing new white slips from Ikea....can you believe the white slips are only $49.95 each?













I wasn't really looking for a love seat, but it just replaced this:
(The chairs are now at my dining table)




I also sold this green cupboard and replaced it with the white one!



~Also...new hanging cupboard ~
(Still tweeking the innerds)





Now, I just need to make a slipcover for my cozy chair and ottoman...




I think I might cover it with an old matlasee cover in white...what do ya think?

Well....I'm happy and still ahead $115.00!  Isn't it fun to change things around.....?

Have a great weekend!

    Looks gorgeous.....I have all the Ikea couches, loveseats and chairs with the white slipcovers and have never been happier. I even in the past had custom furniture from Ethan Allen (very pricey), and I am happier wtih the Ikea. You see it is sooooooo easy to throw the white covers in the laundry with some bleach!!! You'll love them!
    Love all the changes. Your home is gorgeous!
