Furnitures-function vs. style

Ikea's having it's annual sale!!! Till this weekend! And Super-Aunty-Me, despite the fact that we're only getting married in July, we've decided to buy our furnitures waaayy ahead!

We won't be able to move in to our new flat anytime soon, at least not within the next 1.5 yrs (only 1 layer of bricks has been built on our block so far).... Hence we're getting the "use-em-for-2-yrs-and-chuck-em-away" kinda furniture.

The place that we're putting up for the next 2 years is dated and very 80's. But I don't mind it at all! In fact, if I could, I would really really like to make it look like the set of "That 70's show"! But Randy-forbid, I can only imagine the "look" in my head... Haaaa......

Anyhows, here's what we bought on our furniture shopping spree:

a sofa BED! Converts to a Queen size bed!
Striking RED Sofa
Totally Retro fabric - Will be tailoring into curtains tt will look cool with the Sofa!

Another 2 fabrics that i liked but didn't fit into the look...


Tabletop lamp - gonna put this beside my bed! FUNKY!
Would like to buy this bead-thingy to hang over the kitchen door! Just for the purpose of using during my wedding day (for photo ops)... which i gotta take it down thereafter...... :(

Excited to have all the items delivered! But gonna assemble everything only in May/June! Ahhh! The anticipation!!!
