Ikeadom


We've made 4 (?) 5 (?) trips to an Ikea store in the last month and we ain't done yet! But, hey, we're furnishing an entire house so it's the only way to go. These stores are amazing, but there is so much stuff that it simply can't be done in one trip.

Naturally "some assembly is required", but as Jim noted, they've overcome the language barrier by using only pictures for instruction manuals. Seriously, there are no words. Just pictures. And lots and lots of little parts. They thought of everything.

These are the nuts and bolts for one chest of drawers. And we used every one of them. And no, it's not 9 feet tall. Just 121.92 cm. Quick, do the math on that.


Okay, it's 4 feet.

We also received a toy with our lunch. No, we didn't have any children with us so . . . . well, I don't know. Toys for everyone!


"She" originally came with TWO arms, TWO ears, and a purse, of course. Winslow has thoroughly enjoyed "her".
