Usher The New Year Into Your Home with IKEA

Hi Loves!

Well, this isn’t exactly part of the 3 Chinese New Year special features I have in mind, but it fits right in, so it’s the bonus feature I guess! 😀 So far I’ve got your stomach and style covered, now we’re onto dressing up your home for CNY! 😉

As you probably know by now, this year IKEA’s teamed up with a few bloggers, myself included for a special blogger program with special tasks each month. This month, it’s all about redecorating your living room and I’ve decided to do so before CNY! 🙂

Now, check out how my living room looks like before the new decorations come in:

I bought white because I like how classic and simple it is. I also specially went to google to check that there’s nothing inauspicious about white lanterns, white means health and red means prosperity guys! 😉Chinese New Year IKEA Decor Blogger Review 005Featured in this photo are 3 batches of IKEA Pussy Willows in Pink, Purple and Red, $6.90 each.
