Last weekend we headed to the grand opening of Ikea. Talk about a headache! But we got some really cool stuff. Here's a peek into some of the stash we got:
I love these square frames. I actually didn't really care about the prints in the frames until we got them home and into Sol's room. The prints match some of the decor in his room perfectly! My ulterior motive the whole time was to get some square frames to print out some digital LO's to put in his room. I love these white frames, the only issue I have with them is that they are an odd size (i think about 9x9), so I'll have to be creative in printing. ($14.99 for set of 3 pictures)
We got these cool hangy things to put in our living room for Sol's toys. (don't worry, it'll be mostly covered by a shrunk we got from my parents from Germany.) I just like the idea of having a place for Sol's toys that is easy for him to put away and easy to get at. We got the white one. I was wishing they'd have a light blue or brown one to match our living room a little better, but it's still good. ($4.99)
Which brings us to our third item...these bibs! I really like them because they cover up Sol's arms. This is great when daddy's already dressed Sol in his Sunday clothes and Sol hasn't had breakfast yet. It has the pouch sticking out to catch food, but I don't know if it's because Sol is still so small, but it doesn't really work. They covering the arms thing makes it worth it though. ($3.99 for 2)
And finally, we bought a mirror for Sol's changing table. I've honestly been meaning to do this forever. My uncle suggested putting one up so that Sol would have something to focus on other than rolling off when he gets his diaper changed. The mirror that we got is just plain unstained light wood. So, stay tuned for what I did to make this mirror match Sol's room. (I'll give you a hint-it's got to do with modge-podge and cowboys!) I hopefully will take more pics of Sol's room too. I don't think I've really got any up and I'm so happy with how it turned out. ($6.99)
