Reader Photos: Carolyn’s House
Our next Ohio Ikea house comes from Carolyn Tavolier:
I LOVE Ikea!! I’m an interior design grad, and I GET IT!!! Functional yet asethically pleasing. Well-made. What can I say? I am not afraid of an little old allen wrench. I put together everything you see in the pictures. I try to convert every person I meet.
The EXPEDIT was our first purhcase nearly two years ago. It holds over 1200+ albums - my husband previously stored them in 3 Sauder wardrobes! (Note the GRUVA lighting). Once we moved his albums to the basement, this spare bedroom became our office! Note the BILLY bookcsse with the CD inserts (LOVE THEM)!! And I love the MYLONIT LIGHTING–the red color gives it a jazzy lounge atmosphere.
Our bedroom glows with STORM lighting. And we gained extra storage with HOL. (See the POLARVIDE throw?)
But I’m really proud of the basement. My husband has more music than is humanly possible to listen to and I had to come up with a way to store it. Thank God for BILLY (he’s the other man in my life)! I have 2 more bookcases with inserts (he has over 700 CD’s and counting). And on the wall, I have LACK shelves for DVD’s, his other passion.
Our 2nd spare bedroom has HEMNES 6-drawer and the MEDAL daybed.
So what do you think? Am I in the club?? And how many African-Americans would wear a hat like that!!! But it puts me in mood!
I love your website–keep it up! I’ll at the opening with bells on. It’s less than an hour from my house. (Our trips to Pittsburgh were about 2 hours or less.)
Take Care!
Carolyn Tavolier
