Moving Out Excitement!

A lot of you may not know, but Renato and I are planning on moving out within a couple months with two friends of ours. Roommates with a baby sounds crazy but like everyone, they love Julian to bits too. In our excitement we went to the amazing Ikea Centennial on Sunday to take a look around and get some ideas. Plus, they'd never been there before!

One of the first things we fell in love with was this Ektorp couch. The apartment we're moving into has a large open-concept living, kitchen and dining area, so we all thought this couch would be great to kind of section it off, without having to get two couches. Plus it comfortable fits all four (five!) of us.

 

Next we thought we really liked this extendable round table. It fit all four of us but then we realized we'd probably need more space because we have friends over a lot. Plus we're moving in before Thanksgiving and Courtney and I are very excited to host it ourselves for the first time! I didn't take a picture of it but there was a way longer rectangular table that you could extend. It could fit at least 8 people, which is kind of stupidly big for our first table but we can use it for school work as well.

 The best part about going to Ikea was putting Julian in all the kids furniture! He looked so cute, even people passing by mentioned it. I would seriously get this teeny mini Poang chair for him, he was so relaxed in it. We sat there for a long time too, and he loved it! My sister got him a Fisher Price rocking chair that he sits in a lot... but sorry sis, this will probably replace it soon!!!
We also sat him in one of the high-chairs in a display kitchen and he loved that too. He was a spoiled baby that day who got carried around most of the day and had a lot of fun :)

I absolutely love going to Ikea, even though I didn't buy anything but food. I guess we're Ikea-rats instead of mall-rats. We were there a ridiculously long time, until closing! We were tired but it was a lot of fun.
