Klappsta's home

At the twins house, there are 7 pets total. (!) Ok, 4 of those are chickens and live outside, but still..
Boy twin just got a dog (Rufus). Girl twin has 2 cats (Mona and The General). One of them hates Rufus (Mona), the other is his best friend (The General). Klappsta chair came to our house and quickly became The General's napping spot.
Rufus wants to play with The General, but sadly has not learned how to use his hind legs to jump, so he just barks at him from the floor. 
We have plans to give Klappsta a cute side table and lamp, as well as an area rug and ottomon to create a nice little reading area in the living room. Right now, it's where our animals hang out.

tal como son

If you don't have an ikea handy, I'm sorry. If you do, do you ALWAYS end your shopping spree in the "as-is" section? Us twins have found some great finds in this marvelous section, including this:
During our Ikea tour, we found this chair on display. The KLAPPSTA chair is covered in a very cute textured white fabric, which we were fans of, but wanted a slip cover option (because white + 3 pets = gross). Most of the covers were discontinued, so we thought, oh well.

We were leaving mostly empty handed, and found this chair in the as is section. But guess what? It had an awesome slip cover that just needed a good wash (the chair was a floor display, hence: as is). Boy twin snagged it at $89.00, instead of the $149 he would have paid. Thanks, as is!

Pictures of KLAPPSTA in her new home will be here shortly. She looks really great in the formal library next to some bookshelves.
