Ikea Day

Federica Piccinini

Good morning girls! How did you spend your 4th of July? I hope that all my americans friends had a lot of fun! Yesterday was “Ikea Day”….7 hours inside Ikea…oh My! But we found a lot of things! We designed the entire kitchen! A bit tiring but very funny!


We choose the model and then we designed it. We choose every single details, the handles, the countertop, the cabinets, the ceramic white sink, the appliances..everything! We found the countertop in the same color of the parquet, that’s perfect.


We choose two of these library and the tv unit.

Two white sofas for the living room. I know that it will be difficult to keep them clean but we love this color and we want a lot of white throughout the house.

And this is the bed. We found a lot of other stuffs, drawers dresses, lights, armchairs, coffe table, curtains, chairs, ect…

We went also to Maisons du Monde and we found a lot of beautiful things! We choose this pretty table, it has two big extension so it’s perfect when we make dinners with friends!

And many many other things! This is just the beginning….

    lovely stuff! the table is not ikea, or is it? it's really beautiful. you should go and have a look how you can pimp your ikea sofas if you like. (www.bemz.com) there you can buy a lot of different styles, both white and colors. your house is going to be very lovely!!

    yay for ikea! hope you had a great ikea day.
    i had a great 4th of july…took lots of pictures of fireworks…
    i absolutely am in love with the last photo of the room. so gorgeous. i wish my room was like that…i'm trying to figure out, is that a bathroom or a bedroom, or am i totally off (the only reason i think it's a bathroom is because there are towels…)
