Ikea + Pinterest for the win!

If you have been following along on my blog, you already know that I am a believer in the layered and lived in approach when it comes to decorating your home. I love furnishings and accessories that have been collected over time, that have a story, or have been passed down through the years. When Max and I moved into our new space we were fortunate to have a great stash of furnishings and accessories to pull from thanks to our moms years of collecting and great taste. One thing we didn't have was a media console for our TV. We made do for a while with a low bench but our space really needed something bigger and brighter. I found this piece at Ikea that was stylish and affordable but unfortunately it was a little too small in scale. Later, while perusing Pinterest I came across this inspiration image and couldn't believe I hadn't thought of it myself; get two and put them together! Duh! So a quick Atlanta and Ikea trip later, here we have it – a $200, bigger, brighter, media console solution that we just love! It’s a great look for our space, adds a brightness that we needed, and didn't break the bank. Ikea + Pinterest for the win! Next up, a new coffee table!...
