Ikea was my best bet. Clearance, year-end sale so was packed with strollers, parents, children etc... but we made it out with our picture frames. I also grabbed a white $7.95 lamp for my desk (only to discover it illuminates very little so I'm reorganising lamps in the house a little... again!).
On the way to pay for our little items, I saw the first real big YELLOW for my study/guest bedroom: the Torenia yellow and black quilt/pillow set! Only $19! Yay :) Now the room is starting to look "yellow". On the upside, I now get a $7.95 lamp to do up creatively to have some "yellow" for the bedside table in guest bedroom! And we gotta get back to Ikea to purchase some red $7.95 lamps for master bedroom!
I know now as well where to get a reasonably priced red kitchen of my dreams! And bathroom cabinets/fittings. Makes purchasing a fixer-upper a little less daunting when the husband is not a handyman!
Wish Ikea wasn't so darn hard to get to!

They are working on finally building an IKEA 20mintures from where I live. Right now I drive 5 hours to go!!!! We have many more trips with our new house!!(But its fun!) I saw that bedding when I went last time,..I like it alot. I bought an orange and white one for my bed. I LOVE THE RED CABINETS!!!!! So pretty. I hope you get to do it one day!!!
An hour? That's nothing - mine is 6 hours away so I never get to go. Hannah looks like she's having a blast and I think your yellow bedding looks great. A red kitchen sure sounds fun as well.
addie: no she can't say ahyee yet. she doesn't even say mum or mummy. just mum mum for me because im the food source :P
jessie and Pink: i never knew that the Ikea-being-too-far-away was an USA malady too! i would have thought they had them everywhere in the US.
yes ok i'll count my blessings then that it's only an hour away! you know, an hour of fun driving is not a bad deal, an hour through blistering traffic is so horrid!
i was really surpsied that the kitchens werne't as expensive as i would have expected! good on Ikea!
