The Coffee Table
The living room redo has been great. Getting rid of clutter made it easier to keep clean, more comfortable and updated.
But there was one, looming problem.
No coffee table.
I have been using a bench. It’s OhhhKayyy. Not my favorite, but not horrible.
But then I went to the Mothership. Also known as IKEA. (cue music)
And I found, for only $29.99, the perfect coffee table. That’s right, you heard me. On QVC they would delightfully exclaim, “It’s UNDER thirty dollars!”
GLASS, to keep from taking over the room. BLACK, which the room needed. SIZE, perfect. PRICE, amazing.
And I gave a kid the job of keeping it clean, which he does with pride.
See how easy I am to please? Thirty dollars and a kid with a bottle of Windex and I am so happy.

It looks great. IKEA = Mothership. Hilariously true.

Looks great! Our nearest ikea is a good 2 hours away so I’ve never been, but I have friends that rave about it. Around here the closest thing we have to a mothership is Target. 🙂

I love the room, especially the blue piano. I think the glass coffee table works well with the other elements in the room, enjoy it!

Could you send the bench to GA? I need a coffee table, but it is way far down this list of things to buy, so the family room sits with a giant void in the middle. Oh, well one day. So gladd you love Ikea as much as I do, I love to go get lost and walk through the maze. Hope you njoy your trip, I am praying for you and your family.

Wow, you’re right- that’s a perfect table for the room! I’ve heard everyone talk “IKEA”…I’m guessing this is a place I have to see at some point. It sounds like a wonderland!
Shannon, our nearest IKEA is farther than that! So I only get to go about once a year. But it’s worth a day trip! But you are so right about Target!
Cha Cha, we need to find you something for the middle of that room! Where do you put your feet? 🙂
Tracy, you MUST get yourself you an IKEA asap! Lisa~
Stopping by from the Hip Homeschool Hop! I too love IKEA…the coffee table is a great find!

We’ve just begun pre-school and are loving it…I’d love to talk with you soon or email to hear some of your favorite curriculums or programs! Thanks for linking up your beautiful table, friend! -shaunna 🙂
