IKEA SALE II

Plumb forgot to tell y’all: I went to Ikea for the first time Friday night — yes, that is how we old people get our kicks on a Friday night! — and was on sensory overload in a very positive way! I spent a little more than $300 and found my son a huge wooden bookshelf, a tall bureau, two night stands, a chair and ottoman, all sorts of kitchen stuff from plastic bowls to a 32 piece cutlery set. Even better, he can pop these into his truck and take them to school en carton. I am quite excited about the kitchen cabinets I saw, and a decorator confessed to me that everyone — even her — buys Ikea kitchen cabinets for offices, etc. because they are just so darn cheap!
