IKEA Love!

I have been exploring IKEA's website over the past few weeks, trying to figure out what to get for mine and Robert's future apartment. So, to my delight, today my mom and sister, Jennifer, and I went to indulge me in my wildest fantasies. We didn't actually buy anything big today, but I fell in love, even more, with the big four poster bed I have been oogling. I can now understand how Tyler Derdent from Fight Club felt when talking about his IKEA addiction. Now that I have my own place to shop for, its a whole different kind of longing.

This is the amazing, four poster bed that I met and became well aquainted with today in IKEA. I know what you are thinking...yellow? But it goes perfect with the bed linens and wall color.

This is the set of sheets that I got from Crate & Barrel for Christmas. I thought the contrast of dark, rich brown and the yellow would be amazing. Then I would paint the walls a deep brown color as well. The ceiling will be white and maybe one wall too. Any suggestions?

Now this is what I am not too sure about...I love this armchair. Its big and comfy and there is a couch and loveseat to match. These would go in the living room. The living room and kitchen in the future apartment are connected, so I was thinking about painting them both an olive green. Maybe I should get the matching couch in the pain cream or white???

The dilemma is that there is so much that we need, but we have to pace ourselves with what we should get first. I am thinking of not even registering anywhere and just asking for IKEA gift cards! I guess we need some appliances too, ha.
