It’s not often I’m confronted with my “I’mtooyoungtofurnishmylivingspacethewayIwanttobecauseI’mpoor” lifestyle.  But last night, I went to Ikea for the first time ever and it was really nice.  My mother was looking for a computer desk and a little table for her kitchen and I was along for the ride, and mostly because I’d never been to an Ikea.  Needless to say, I was pretty much flabbergasted when confronted with an endless warehouse of wares that I would totally put in my apartment! 

I was impressed with Ikea for a lot of reasons- mostly because it was functional.  My mom was flipping out over the shopping carts; “They turn on a dime!”  They had one “showroom” that was entitled Living in 450 Sq Feet that I was very interested in, because I had just looked at an apartment that was 450 sq feet.  I said no the apartment, but I would have said yes to Ikea’s apartment.  The closets alone were worth cramming everything I owned into such a small space because who cares if your’re crammed if you’re crammed CUTELY?

I kept on being surprised by all the cool Ikea things.  And I kept saying “someday I will furnish with this!”  The kitchens were awe-inspiring; my mother and I felt kind of pathetic in our admiration. 

SO when I win the lottery I know where I’m going.
