Ikea Ektorp, Restoration Hardware, and New Kitteh

Like the title? Yep, I'm a little random as usual. 

Sitting here this evening realizing that I haven't shared some of the best new things I have brought home over the course of the summer! I took some pics with my phone {and had some help from Instagram on some!} I can not stress how much I am looking forward to getting a new camera, it's been months now since mine broke. 

So anyways I found an Ikea Ektorp sofa on Craigslist for.....drumroll please.....$25. Seriously!! 

{insert the happy dance here}

I adored the old sofa that was in there but truly it wasn't the best choice for a house with 3 kids and two cats, so I sold it for $100.

Now before you go saying all this white is also not the best choice, let me tell you I LOVE IT and IT'S EASY. It's all washable/bleachable.  

 I also found two new rolls of this lovely black and white Waverly wall paper that I have been trying to decide what I am going to use it for at a yard sale for $5 each. 

I stuck it behind the fireplace {yes, that is also new from a yard sale for $50, I sold the old one for $100}to see what it would look like. I'm rather fond but really like it behind the sofa too!

 I also bought {several months back now} these chairs from Restoration Hardware.

No photos of them in the dining room have been taken yet, mainly because I am still playing musical tables in there!! Here is a sneak peek of what I have started though.

And then there is my kitteh boy. I brought him home from a market. He was just too cute and he was free and our other cat really needed a friend. 

Be prewarned....multiple cat photos to follow.......

 Here he thinks he is a people in my sons bed, all tucked in!

 Sleepy Kitteh!

 Sitting in a chair....

 Doesn't he look so cute and innocent? Turns out he is a tiny terror kitten. But oh so cute....

 This is his evil look. Lol!
