I recently found out that, actually, all Swedish women and men that are allowed to leave Sweden are hot as FUCK while everyone still in the country is like average looking
that's not entirely true but seriously
it's like they're allowed to be exported if they're just hot enough to fool foreigners into thinking that everyone in the country looks like that and thus luring in unwary tourists
Hey, I'll take average. I'll take anything, I don't care!

That is pretty much the case for an awful lot of countries
My mother has something like that, except it's a coffee table with a glass top and dark oaky looking wood around it. Then there are these black leather-like cushioned ottomans that slide in underneath. Very cool.
Yeah, unless I was a student, I wouldn't buy an IKEA bed either
This mattress and bed we have aren't IKEA; the mattress is some horribly expensive deluxe shit with adjustable pressure and a wool topping which I think we need to start paying back Mori's mother for
Also I have never owned a full length mirror, sorry Viv

I have 2 Billy Bookshelves, a Mikael desk and drawers, a couple weird little side tables next to the couch, assorted accoutrements, a whole mess of picture frames, and about a dozen digested hot dogs.
i had a Billy bookcase from years back and got a tall one recently
the wood is cheaper and instead of metal bolts held in by twist-caps on the end shelves like there used to be, it's just the metal bolts
and also they stopped selling the Jerker desk for some reason, which is dumb. It's an amazing desk and they don't sell anything else even approaching in quality to it right now.

I'm pretty particular about furniture, which is funny considering that I have a lot of white particle board stuff right now
But, white is really best in our small space, and particle board is cheap but sturdy
Here is the awful part
We had to undo all the packages to get the expedit stuff into the car
Then in getting it together, which was a logistical nightmare in our apartment, we scraped it a few times
Normally this would bug the HELL out of me. If there is one thing I hate it is scratched or damaged furniture and there's not much you can do to repair particle board
So. I got the white-out and actually painted over the little nicks and scratches. And actually, it doesn't bother me nearly as much as I thought. You can't see it unless you get really close now.

They put in a bunk bed didn't they?
Everything looks so much better if you have a bunk bed.

No! It was just a single bed, with shelving around, a shallow wardrobe and mirror opposite
totally gonna have a day bed in my TV room when I move out.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.

Sofas
Although I did see one leather sofa that actually came pretty close to my ideal
I like the big sofas you can sink into with the low-rise arms that can also act as pillows
IKEA's sofa arms are generally way too high and they make one sit up
I want to lounge on a sofa
If I want to sit up I'll grab a chair
The top folds out and the other leg swings out.

halfway between a bed and a couch
it's big and comfy and you put it in the living room and fill it with a thousand cushions and nap on it

t janson you know what else ikea isn't that great for
beds
they look nice but they really aren't very structurally solid. the mattresses are merely okay.
Unless it is the cheapest bed ever and you just want to save money never buy an IKEA bedframe.
Their idea of single (or any bed size) isn't the traditional size so you have to buy their stuff.

goddamn that bitch is comfy

Then: Buy some unit for the kitchen that will contain our oven and microwave
Then: I might look into more furnishings and lighting; our overhead light is harsh
Oh.... That is awesome.

and what I think might make a nice light quilt for summer for $35
Satans..... hints.....
I'd want to get one for the kitchen here but it is just too tall and would block the window

But yeah, lots of lovely stuff, too
