The other weekend we went to the new Ikea store at Tempe (Sydney).
We were mainly looking for some livingroom furniture, in chocolate brown

The new store is soooo huge, so 'shiny' & so new
I went with M, my parents & my sister
Everyone goes nuts for the meatballs there, i love them too but am a vegetarian so i had chips & gravy instead (very vegetarian) After eating, we began searching !
Have you ever noticed how many pregnant people there are at Ikea ?
It's so cute, because the children's range is super fun !
Anyway we tested out alot of couches & tried to visualise them in our new house, in the end we bought 4 items from the Hemnes collection

Hemnes TV Stand

Hemnes Tv Stand (with a Tv on it, our Tv is way cuter)

Hemnes Coffee Table

Hemnes Bookcase
We also bought a matching shelf, but there weren't any picture on the website...so try to visualise hehehe now i'm so excited to build all the furniture and style it with our own personal touches, like books, photos, trinkets & candles.
Some of the other things we bought were glass christmas ornaments, snowflake glasses, an ironing board & some straws
It's very easy to wander around in Ikea & pick up a trolley load of 'must haves', there were a few things i forgot to get (i.e. latte glasses, salad bowls & lighting strips) luckily when we were shopping at Ikea, they had a free giftcard promotion, so i have an excuse to go back for all the things i forgot and probably more
So excited for more homewares !! i wonder, is this what's called nesting ?
Hmmmmm
