To Ikea or Not to Ikea...that is the question!

Pinterest and the Internets has given me a whole new perspective on how I am envisioning my new HOME!!! It won't be a while before we see some of these projects come to life...but NOW I HAVE A VISION!!!

It's hard to compete with IKEA's offers, walk in walk out decoration=done at one flat rate! 

But there is nothing like MAKING SOMETHING with your hands...that you know NOBODY else will have, something so special, that it alone will make you smile every time you walk into your VERY OWN HOME. I can't wait to get started on these projects. Nico will have a blast working at a real WOOD WORKSHOP with one of the best ARTISTS/Carpenters in the Biz... Just a couple weeks away!!
How adorable!!





I can use plexi glass instead of actual glass!

the wheels are such a great touch, especially since I love moving things around ALL THE TIME!!!

WHo cares if we dont have a couch! I'll MAKE ONE!!!!!

Great for pictures and or for books!!!


good for nico's room! just got to be careful with splinters!!

doesn't this little nook make you want to read---now imagine nico sitting there reading MY BOOK! =)

right by the entrance!!


one of my favorites!!! a toddler bed for Nico!!




     The greatest thing about all these ideas is that they can be made with:
    1. Some recycled wooden pallets
    2. some tools (which abuelo has any we could ever need)
    3. some paint 
    4. sewing machine (for some)
    5. some vintage cloths/sheets/extras
    6. LOTS OF CREATIVITY
    7. LOTS OF LOVE!!
