We have a new 'secondhand' couch.
It was a bargain and looks like new, but with a eeny price tag of $450.
The most exciting bit, apart from seeing family and friends that we miss and love....
was our trip to IKEA!!!
It has been at least 2 years since we have made the journey, and this impromptu visit had high yields.
5 new light fittings,
3 will go over the dining table - these are cheap lights but should give the look we want, and the opportunity to change the lampshade out at a lighter time.
and 2 for the childrens rooms.
Plus more kitchen fittings, mirrors etc. But a post for another day.
I love Ikea. Sure it has an element of mass produced rubbish.
But the things to love:
* very child friendly,
*quick cheap reasonably food
*good price tags on most everyday things
*gift cards that never expire!!
* pieces unique to Ikea, like kids swinging chairs.
* easy to navigate
*friendly staff
*SO MUCH STUFF TO LOVE!
So hope everyone had a good weekend. Today we plan to speak to Council so we will let you know if we have any news.
