Tough crowd.

You GUYS. You're a touch bunch. But because I appreciate all ya'll, we're gonna go ahead and have ourselves a giveaway TODAY. I'm in a time crunch and want to make sure we get to enjoy both the giveaways I've been given the opportunity to host.

You're welcome.

As you know, I coveted my IKEA sofa for ages. I wanted a sleeper sofa originally, and I wish I'd thought to look at CSN's website (remember how they offered a free print to one lucky reader in the Spring?). They have tufted sleeper sofas that are the about the same price as the Karlsvik sofa I got on Memorial Day. Too bad I neglected to browse their selection (which offers free shipping). I especially like this one in Mocha.

In order to help YOU remember to look to CSN for future purchases, I have a $40 gift certificate to offer to one lucky reader. It can be applied toward any item on any of CSN's many sites. They have over 200 categories of sites with countless products. That means that whoever wins this gift certificate can basically get whatever the heck they want. Shoes, office supplies, a casserole dish... WHATEVER.

SA-WEET.

Here's how to enter:

You must live in either the U.S.A. or Canada to be eligible.
You may leave one comment to be considered for one entry.
You may leave a second comment with a link to your own blog/facebook/twitter advertising the giveaway to be considered for one additional entry.

That gives each person two entries for the giveaway :)

Good luck and thanks for following my blog! The giveaway will be open until 12:oo am MST on Wednesday, June 23, 2010.

I almost started to believe I was imagining this sofa.

At the end of 2009, IKEA had a promo on a three-piece living room set referred to as KLAMBY. It was a sofa, loveseat and chair for $699. I didn't pay any attention to it because I don't have that kind of space in my living room for a set.

However, one day while passing time in Draper (I'm pretty sure Seth and Kev were doing man stuff so I decided to go to IKEA), I sat down on a KARLSVIK sofa to browse the new 2010 IKEA catalogue.

I really loved the sofa. It was petit and had nice lines- I noticed it wasn't as modern or moduar looking like a lot of the other IKEA couches. It also didn't come across as too stuffy either.

Since sitting on that sofa, I had no luck finding it in the 2010 catalogue or online. It made me crazy! It wasn't until I went back to IKEA with friends Bethany and Natalia that I verified the KARLSVIK sofa does indeed exist. I even made the girls sit on it with me so I could prove to myself that it was true.

It's currently listed for $299 and I've been talking about it to Kev non-stop since my first encounter. I did some research online and discovered that I missed a Black Friday opportunity to get the KARLSVIK for $199. Bummer. I guess it was worth sleeping in though.

I keep trying to imagine it in my living room with my discounted, tent-sale red couch. I'm so over the college chairs I've been using as supplemental seating and I'm ready to add a more substantial mate for the existing couch.

This weekend Kev will be putting his own bum on it to see if it's worth saving up for. Wish me luck!
