Spent a fortune in Ikea!

[Urchin]

We're in the middle of decorating Mason (and soon to be Brody's) bedroom, so today was the day I went to ikea to get loads of stuff We have gone for 2 red walls and 2 white walls, laminate floor and a "car" theme.

Mason has a high bed with a slide to get down so I got 2 of these for underneath, with red and white storage boxes and smaller drawers.

Then I got a big desk, plus a red swivel chair for Mason to use for his homework and stuff. It has a magnetic white board on it, so cool 8) I got a red clip on lamp for it too.

Then some zip up storage boxes:

Little table, this will also fit under the bed when not in use

I already have 2 of these to go with it...

A red shelf for the white wall and a white shelf for the red wall :

and a metal drawer unit

Also got the best high chair in the world, I should have got one years ago....

and a few more little bits... I have never spent so much there before but the way I see it they are going to be sharing and we need to get organised on the toy storage situation straight away!


Can't wait to get it all in there ( not the high chair obviously!) but have to wait for OH to sort the laminate first

Yeah I know

Its a shame I never got "before" pics, at the moment the walls are painted red and white, but they were blue before, over woodchip , we still have all the wrong furniture and nasty carpet in there. The curtains are pink velvet from when we moved in, I'm going to dye them red in the washing machine.

Brilliant choice of furniture that should last them well into teens

Ikea is the mothership in our house, the closest Anders gets to home so we go food shopping there too on our trips

Sounds brilliant!!!!

 

[zebrastripes]

That's lovely, the wee red chair is so sweet. First time I went to Ikea I was so impressed by all the kids room sets

 

[daftscotslass]

I've got some money off vouchers for Ikea Edinburgh, woop woop! I love that stuff Urchin, it's so bright and cheery. How on earth did you get it all home?

My cousin lent us a highchair but part of the harness is missing. £10 for a new one or do I just get one of the Ikea chairs (far more easy to lug around the house). Hmm!

 

[Squiglet]

I WANT AN IKEA HIGH CHAIR TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO They don't come with Trays in our IKEA

nor the Swedish ones

Obviously us Brits are unique or maybe we just feed our babies more and make more mess???

 

[HappyAlice]

I love Ikea!
I had that highchair when my 8 yr old was a baby, not sure how much it is now but cost me something like £10 back then!

 

[Urchin]

It's still £10 now.

Squiglet, you buy the tray separately for £3 here.
