Family Room


Its been almost a year since we got our new Ikea section and we still love it! In this past year, I only washed the cushion slip covers twice. This is why I love gray slip covers so much! They hide all the stains, and believe me, we are not careful around this sofa, we watch TV, eat snacks and have drinks.

I ended up getting a new rug for this space. The rug I got last year was a pain to keep clean. You could see every stain and crumb on it, it drove me crazy. This is why I love jute rugs, they hide crumbs and little messes- a must have with little kids. 

I picked up a few new pillow covers from h&m (gotta love H&M prices) to freshen up the space for spring/summer and got a new palm plant for the corner. I love how bright and summery this space look now.

  1. Love your couch! Which one is this from IKEA? Is the entire thing a slipcover?

    1. This is the ektorp sectional. Each cushion has a slip cover on it. But, the entire sofa base is one big slip cover.

I am a working mom and i don't have the energy to do anything even on weekends so my house is always a mess.. do you maintain a planner? please blog about how you are able to manage so much of activities in your days and still stay so fit and beautiful so perfectly ...Sorry for the long comment :)

    1. You are so kind, but no, I am far from being fit. That is something I am always struggling with. I have gained 25 pounds since having three kids, and I have no energy to work out :(. I am a big planner, I make lists, make menus, make grocery lists. I will try and make a post on it all one day :)
