Redecorating - update 2.

I went to Ikea this Saturday to get a couple things for our little apartment. I was mainly going to get their super cute stool with the doily print design ontop [only $12.99!!!] It is such a great addition to the little corner next to our bookshelf, plus the books ontop of it look so sweet I think! Beyond surprise I found these aluminum shelves there in the office section and thought them perfect for displaying my vintage children's books and also little small tchotchkes [$10.00 each] Then I got a shelf to go above our computer to put our scanner on and other digital equipment, and lastly two little metal brass bookends with lovely flower motifs stamped through. [shelf $20.00 which includes the brackets & bookends $1.99 each] That's all for now, hopefully I can get some for stuff done before school starts next week!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH <- yes that is me screaming! :) lol

I love that you went to IKEA, but the tings you picked out are so perfectly individual to your aesthetic.
P.S. I spotted your coloring books on the shelves at Fred's yesterday ;)
