One word.

IKEA!

So yesterday my family and I decided to tackle Atlanta and hit up Ikea.

I consider Ikea to be the biggest playground for home decor enthusiasts on a budget.

That doesn't mean I didn't find enough stuff to hurt my wallet, though!!

Heading into downtown Atl.

One of my infamous [that's more than famous] partners in crime!

We also made a stop by Garden Ridge on the way home.

Here is the "all the cool stuff I got" picture.

From left to right-

Rug - Ikea (last chance $3.99!)

6 pack of knobs - Ikea (last chance $0.99 a pack!)
