There's that point after you've moved in when you absolutely must go to IKEA. You just need to get another Billy the bookshelf or a Bekvam spice rack. And while you're there you just happen to find a whole lot of other things you just really need and it's at such a great price... And as luck would have it, they're having a sale this week.
Hubby despises IKEA. He knows that if we go there, regardless of the original shopping list, we'll end up purchasing a dozen other items we probably don't need, but were there and on sale, or at the right price... So I went with a coworker. She and I left work early on Thursday to go to the land where the furniture folds to a much smaller size. Three hours later, two shopping carts, 7 over sized boxes and two bowls of soup in bread bowls, we finished our shopping spree. It took about 20 minutes of advanced tetris skills to fit everything into the car and have enough room to sit semi-comfortably. We literally had to push our seats so forward, we were practically touching the windshield whipper.
It's been a few days, and for the most part, we've put together the big pieces. We're slowly unpacking more and more boxes every other evening. (Seriously, who wants to work a full day and then work at unpacking boxes at home, at night?!) This house is beginning to feel like a home...
