Being a young married couple, we sometimes find it hard to justify spending money for anything that isn't necessary. However, we both agreed that our living room could use a facelift. We gave ourselves a small amount of money to work with and headed to Ikea to see what we could find. Up to this point in our marriage our decor/furniture has been handed down from family members or been purchased at a thrift store or yard sale.
