ikea, once again

i went to ikea the other day and picked up a few things, nothing major.  i did buy a $30 throw for the couch in the family room. 

here's what it looked like before:

and after:

i know, the change is minimal, but it gives the couch more texture and the white really pops against the dark brownish/eggplant color.  i think i am going to add a monglolian lamb pillow from west elm to add a little something more.

here are a couple pieces that caught my eye:

this would look good if the top was painted a creamy white

and accessorized with a collection of modern pottery

modern armoir, reminds me of the modern danish cribs below (not at ikea)

didn't realize they had a cowhide until a couple weeks ago-this is a must in my new home

kind of like this coffee table, but unsure

how cute would these be in a kid's room

i like the idea of this tray top table, like the one in ellen pompeo's house.  you could just do a coat of  distressed bronze on the top. well, kind of like ellen's...
