IKEA Makes Me Feel Like Decorating

Yesterday, Lil Mama and I went to IKEA.  She wanted to go somewhere ( Lil Man was at a sleepover) and I didn't want to spend too much money and $1 Yogurt sounded real good to me.

We went through all the pre-made rooms, sat on couches, and laid on beds.  They put these rooms together so cool.  Every time I go there I wish I had money.  I kept telling Lil Mama  "We need this and that".   It would be nice to go in there with $500 and redecorate a room in my house (who am I kidding-$1000).   I dream every time I go in there.

I WANT TO RE-DECORATE MY HOUSE!

I feel as our house is a pile of unmatched hand me downs or really OLD stuff.  I don't really have a style what so ever!  But I want one.  I want to decorate but CAN I?  Do I have the decorating gene?  IKEA makes me feel like YES I CAN.

I'm thinking when the kids go back to school I'm going to start doing projects (I say that all the time LOL). We rent so we are limited on some of things we can do but damn it I don't want our house looking like I get all my furnishing on the side of the road.  Nothing goes together and wow all the different colors.

I need to stay away from IKEA because see what it does ~makes me talk about CHANGING things up and redecorating.
