We spent three and a half hours at IKEA today – buying everything for the apartment.  From beds and mattresses, to chairs, tables and desks, a dining room,  wardrobes and dressers and shelves, and coffee and end tables.  It is interesting how much you can really buy at IKEA for a price of one Restoration Hardware, Belgian natural linen, extra depth, feather filled sofa.  One sofa or a house full of furniture – I guess its all relative.  We still don’t have a kitchen and a large wardrobe for us but its coming.
