My impromptu trip to IKEA yesterday was a success! I abandoned my to-do list, hopped in the car and drove 2 hours to that heavenly place. Why?
I scored a sectional couch on Craigslist late Wednesday night. Now, I am not a buyer of used soft goods. In fact I usually run from them. However, the couch is completely slip covered. So, I needed a new slipcover from IKEA.
We are in the process of making our kids playroom into a cool hangout area, just in time for summer. Here is the couch with the new slipcover!
Isn’t she pretty? All white (for now). It will be a great place to lounge.
Because I’m cheap thrifty, I needed a good deal to get this room moving along. I scored the couch for $325 (retail $1000) and the slipcover $99.
In the scratch and dent area at IKEA, I snagged a red slipcover for $10. Yes, $10, retail $299. So when we tire of the white, I have a back-up!
Hope to have the room complete by Sunday to share on Monday! All done on a budget!
Have a great weekend!

Huge transformation on the room. Love it! I have a white slipcovered sofa (and 2 little boys) and I love mine. Managed to get a green backup set, too. You scored well!
