the people's republic of ikea

that's what chris called it when we made the forty five minute trek to my favorite store for the second time in two days because i forgot to buy the slats to my bed the first time. consider me the fiercest patriot.

the bed, the comforter, the lamp, the table the lamp is sitting on and all those picture frames are from ikea. i love that place.

i am so excited about my picture wall! the only thing missing is some strips of gorgeous fabric between the columns...mmmm :) i envision little columns of black and white pictures wall to wall. perhaps some day.

seriously, does it get much better than this? because my brain can't take much more awesomeness.

so far, apartment life is great. other than some absurdly squeaky floors and the World's Largest Fly Who Won't Leave or Die, our little place rocks. alisha is a killer roommate. i have this adorable little teapot i get to use every morning. we have a dishwasher. we finally have wireless. i have a big comfy bed and space to scrapbook. and i love grocery shopping.
