Last weekend Mr. Snuggly and I went to IKEA for some sewing room furniture shopping. I ended up getting everything on my "must have" list. I tested out all the desks and decided that the Jonas desk with the pull-out side table was perfect. This is a HUGE step up from the card table!
I decided to go with the black-brown version because I thought it would look nicer than the birch, unfortunately it didn't come in white. I did get the Jules chair in white though and I love how it looks with the darker desk.
I was also able to get my comfy chair and footstool. Now I can comfortably watch tv and do my hand stitching. I got the dark gray Tullsta chair and I love how it looks against the lighter gray walls. You can also get covers in different colors, so I may get one so I can have a different look. Because it's too small to curl up on I got a little Solsta Pallbo footstool. Here's a pic...complete with Scout who is always hamming for the camera!! LOL!
I haven't gotten a chance to actually sew at my desk yet, but I'm excited too! I'm desperately behind in my swing dress so I need to get to it!
I did find some time to make some tasty treats for Valentine's Day. I used Bake It in a Cake's recipe for Chocolate Covered Strawberry Brownie Bites. Though I didn't have enough strawberries to make mini's so I make regular sized cupcakes.
They have white chocolate buttercream frosting. I really need to work on my frosting skills, but luckily my gold sprinkles from Bake It Pretty distract from the mistakes nicely. :)
I like that white cubby/shelf thing you have on the wall next to your desk. What a perfect thing for your sewing notions. Is that what you'll be using it for?
ReplyDeleteThanks! I actually took all my notions out when we painted the room. Really it's pretty because I can keep nearly everything organized and at hand. Plus it looks nice. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your desk Mia, heaps of room to sew on and real sturdy. Your cupcakes look very yummy!
ReplyDeleteI did some sewing yesterday and my desk is wonderful! It's so nice to have space for everything right where I want it. The cupcakes are pretty yummy, thanks!!!
