Sometimes you just need a little pink in your life. Am I right?
And faux fur.
Right?
Right.
Making a space happy doesn't have to be expensive or take a ton of time. Moving into our new home has been expensive (we're working on putting in a yard, landscaping, finishing our basement, building out our fireplace and adding a mantel, while also adding molding throughout the house - whew!) so buying new furniture and decorative items is mostly on the back burner until things settle down a bit.
Until then...
...Ikea to the rescue!
A pair of new velvet cushion covers and a faux sheepskin throw add some color and texture to a bland room. The pink velvet covers were only $7 a pop, and everyone's favorite faux rug is just $9.99! Seriously. #ikeadoesitagain
Here's the bland before:

Obviously, nothin' fancy.
Here's the two-minute spruce up:

| Pandora...such a poser! ;) |
Again, nothin' fancy, but in person, let me tell you, it made a huge difference!
Layer, layer, layer! I'm tellin' you. Layers, people. Like an onion. Or cakes. Or parfaits. 'Cause ain' nobody say they don't like no parfait.

P.S. Notice only one dresser (psst, it's on the left)? Guess what? It's not there anymore! New bedside tables and an organized dressing room/closet update coming later this week (Hint: If you follow my Instagram, you've seen a sneak peek)!

Q: So what have you been sprucing up lately? What's your best two-minute update? Do you love Ikea like I do? What are your cat's names?
