there are so many things in the ikea catalog to entice you, and yet, so many of them you cannot order online. dear light fixture, i covet thee, yet you are not to be mine. because i couldn't fit you in my suitcase, and because i cannot have you shipped. i must wait until the ikea store in CHARLOTTE opens in 2009. still 3.5 hours away from where i live, but closer than the 5 hours i have to drive now to get to the closest one in washington dc.
i can have a couch shipped to me for $89. that's a miracle.
but the goods, the goods. that's what you want me to get to. here's what i did score: (and didn't leave behind on the bus to park and ride at the airport)
an innocent wall shelf. desperately needed in the craft room that is currently the disaster room. waiting for db2's dad (db1) to mail these bad boys. i'm ready for them.
the kvartal system. so we left the rods for these on the bus at the airport in our tired stupor. which i'm sort of pissed about, but luckily that is an item that you CAN still order on ikea.com. so my living room shall not go naked.
the kryssbo light. for above the bed. i've never been more in love with a lamp that looks like an octopus than i was when i laid eyes on this bad boy.i can disguise the cord and run it back behind the headboard. since my house is sorely lacking in overhead lighting ... this also leads me to my greatest heartbreak. the lamp that i could not score because
1. it was too large and heavy to go in our suitcase
2. i've discovered you cannot order it online
3. i was so in love. damn you ikea.
this lamp has broken my heart. i will live. hopefully it will still be in the store when it opens in 2009.
dramatical candelabra.
i can't wait to sit outside with db2 under this. under the hammock. i think i got some other things, too. but i can't remember at the moment. i still have to unpack that bag ...
