oh ikea....

I really enjoyed visiting you.
Honestly, I wish I had had more time.
I felt so rushed.
So many decisions.
Which chair do I really want?
Black or white?
Are you worth the extra money?

We were in a hurry because we didn't want my sister to miss her flight to Africa. That was definitely more important. We did have SOME time to explore the rooms and rooms of furniture that your walls contain... I think I could spend days exploring those rooms and dreaming up a house of my own.... 

Some of your display rooms were bigger than my apartment. Can I just move in? I think that would be fun.

I got my desk. 
Once assembled, we realized that one leg is too long. It made kinda sad... I mean, you disappointed me a little. But that's okay. I won't let this one mistake ruin you in my eyes.
Do it again, and we'll have a problem.

Thank you for the warm welcome. 
I certainly enjoyed my visit!
Hope to see you again!

(pics of the new furniture will be posted when office is complete. anticipate before and after pictures. yay!)

oh I'm so glad you enjoyed Ikea... I'm in love with it!

And yes... the assembly is a nice kick in the pants.

I LOVE IKEA. I took pictures of myself in the little rooms. A dream.

I'm kind of glad to know that the assembly is a pain. Just because it makes me not want it so bad.

Can't wait to see pictures!

Ha, I'm always the only one that hates Ikea.

I'm glad you found a lovely new desk! And I'm glad the actual store didn't reduce you to panic the way it does me. ;)
