Pirates on the Hudson

B and I took the ferry back from IKEA after an emergency trip on Sunday, lo and behold, there was a pirate ship!  I'm sure that this is some vessel with a specific name and purpose, but B and I watched the sunset over Manhattan and watched for boarders.  It was a nice day.

What we have been doing....

I have been working...A LOT.....and missing my BBoy like mad.  Here we are this fall on the IKEA ferry....which is appropriate since I have been taking B there like once a week!  Luckily he loves it, but let's face it, he is my son, and what is not to love about a place that sells good 'ol swedish style and has a giant ball pit?

Anyhoo, if you want to see the store I designed check out their blog or look at all of the grand opening madness on Treehugger.

Big Boy Bed

This is a BREKKE bed from IKEA, a discontinued item that I found on Craigslist and bought this weekend. It wasn't exactly what I was looking for, I wanted an old iron daybed, or cot base, but I have been looking for a while and haven't found one. This is nice, I can style it like a nice daybed, and the storage drawers underneath are useful, I think I will look for some vintage kid's wallpaper to put over the drawer fronts. A plan is coming together for B's room finally! I'll try to pull together a materials/inspiration board to post.
