not extreme but adequate makeover

Remember last year when I first moved back to MA and went to Ikea? And I wrote blog letters to Ikea? Yeah, that's back:

Dear Ikea,

Sorry I haven't written in so long. I've visited you three times without writing to say thanks for the bargains. Now it is time to catch up.

First, I shall start with my most recent trip. Later on, in another entry, I'll address the other two visits.

Well, you were a nice place to take Mom for mother's day. We enjoyed ourselves. We love bargain shopping. Though, I don't know how many times we mentioned how dangerous you are, what with such good deals. Still, Mom got the Mikael in beech effect white. A giant, sleek new desk for only 150, including a storage unit and a glass top. Now, to put it together. There's always the rub with you.

And, as mentioned in the previous blog, I got the Vika table top with the red Curry legs. Thirty buck for a table. Can't beat that, can you?

Then those orange drapes. O, I had no intention whatsoever of redoing my tiny bedroom, especially since I don't want to be in it. But, alas, your prices were too enticing. Rather than describe what spending $46 can do to a tiny bedroom, I shall show you. A 1000 words, as they say.See? Isn't that nice? And I have you to thank for it, Ikea. Orange, purple, pink and red. How fun!

More later...

Love,
Birget (Swedish version of name)
