I had a very memorable trip to IKEA last night with soon-to-be-colleague Andrew Noh. I was very overwhelmed at that store, but I did succeed in making a few purchase decisions. I wasn't quite ready o make a sofa bed purchase, and I still haven't decided what I'm doing about a bed (more on that later.) Based on my sister's advice to "start with the things I really need," I only bought a tall lamp, a dining room table (that expands!), a simple work table, shot glasses (definitely a priority), and a set of silverware. (Of course, in typical Stiebel fashion, when I got home I realized that I had already bought two sets of silverware at Target last week.)
Anyway, today will be a day of basic assembly (and probably laundry, too. And maybe another adventure in gourmet cooking.) I just finished assembling that infamous end table that I got through Craigslist. Even though I overpaid by 2 dollars, it was worth it. It looks really good. I think I might eat lunch on this table today, even though it's only about one foot off the ground.
Lunch time!
I also need to assemble the lamp and the dining room table (that expands!) I love expanding tables!
