Be there or be SQUARE!

The Expidit shelving from Ikea that we assembled today is basically a big fat square with a bunch of smaller squares inside of it that create a giant wall of squares (hence the title of this post)!

We combined two of the 5x5 units with a smaller one row unit for a grand total of 55 squares to create an entire wall of organizational heaven!! It actually won't be hard to fill all of those squares since Emmy's toys are plentiful and Mummy has an absolute ton of books and accessories!

I quickly dumped a few tubs of books and Emmy's toys on the first shelf, but need to spread out and take my time styling these shelves nicely!

That brown sofa is about to get an ambush makeover and go RED!! Stay tuned for that!
We also managed to assemble the two Lack sofa tables that came in our giant Ikea delivery earlier this week and butted them up together to hopefully give the look of one long console table for a fraction of the price. I threw a few items on top to get a very rough idea of the type of item I'll want to accessorize with, just for some fun. 

Quick styled to get an idea of how it might look with some pretty books/items on display!

Two Lack sofa tables fit perfectly behind our new sectional sofa!
Things are finally starting to come together and the house is really starting to feel like "home".
