I have been coveting
Ikea's Trollsta sideboard for quite some time now, I wanted to get the yellow one as soon as I laid my eyes on it, however I didn't, hoping I would get over it. But here I am after so many weeks still loving it. I don't mind IKEA for little things and for kids stuff and ofcourse for shelving etc but I usually stay away from buying such statement peices from there. I need a sideboard for my hallway and I would be hanging all my framed art on the wall just above the sideboard. Would also be updating the wallpaper, so there would be a lot going on there, maybe if I get the black trollsta there's less chance of me waking up the next morning thinking I shouldn't have! (
Yes I'm still on topic)

I will use Kelly Wearstler's Imperial Trellis Citrine wallpaper if I do endup buying the black one.

However if someone silly(me) gets the yellow one then i'll be using the Florence Broadhurst Stampede wallpaper.
Sensible part of my brain is telling me to go for a simple sideboard (hopefully antique) and paint it with a nice bright colour like these ones.

oh my, can I love it all? I can't wait to see what you do.
ReplyDeleteI definitely vote for painting an old one yellow, along with that lovely Stampede wallpaper. I just can't warm to the Ikea sideboard, and think something you paint yourself will be more individual and better (and more deserving of the beautiful wallpaper - great choice!).
ReplyDeleteI'd say old and yellow as well. it looks good!

Another vote for old and paint it yellow here, Cyma.....but you must do what you think best....I'm sure you will make the right descision.....either way, it will look good. XXXX
ReplyDeleteWell I'm going with the majority. I say old piece, paint yellow and use the Florence Broadhurst wallpaper xxxxx
ReplyDeleteYELLOW YELLOW YELLOW! Please don't buy the black one :o)
ReplyDeleteYellow all the way.
ReplyDeleteLoving the black with that wallpaper! x
ReplyDeleteYellow, yellow, yellow... it's so individual and out there, while being happy and welcoming! Old too, as much as I love the Ikea unit...A-M xx
ReplyDeleteI have no opinion. It takes me ten minutes just to buy toilet paper let alone make big decorating decisions. I am confused for you, although all options will look fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteCyma I hope to God you bought that Imperial Trellis off Black & Spiro! What a coup if you got it on sale!!!!
