Making a house a home.
01.16.10
I went to IKEA today. It wasn’t on the list of stuff I planned to do but one of my friends was around and she came specifically to go there. So we went.
I spent money of course but you go to IKEA and somehow, a lot seems to come out for your money. I needed boring stuff like a dustbin for the kitchen (the one that came with the house sucks) and I wanted one for my bedroom as well. I wanted some stuff for the kitchen, like a ladle, and more of those wooden cooking implements that cost 69c but which are extremely useful. I now have four sets of them. And I wanted another standing lamp that cost 6.99 for the living room because the one I put in my bedroom worked out so well. Plus I needed a zillion plastic boxes to cater for bringing lunch/dinner to work.
IKEA rocks. All that set me back the grand total of 47E. The most expensive item was the standing lamp for 6.99E. It’s a really nice standing lamp (which is why I have two of them now). I like a lot of the things in there. Most of all I like that it was Saturday afternoon, very packed but I didn’t have to queue anywhere.
So I’m sitting here in my candlelit living room with nice cinnamon rolls also bought in IKEA listening to chillout music by Delirium, thinking there are worse places to be in my life.
