Wow...We just bought sooooo much crap at Ikea
Edited on Sun Mar-08-09 03:27 PM by bicentennial_baby
I can't even list it all. :wow:

I have a lot of assembly to do. And a lot of crap to find a place for. :rofl:

I can't find a pic online of the bookcase we got, but it's really cool. :bounce:

Actually, here it is, except ours has two glass doors on the bottom:

3. It's one of the Billy bookcases, was on sale for $99
How we fit it into the Camry is beyond me.. :rofl:

Let's see...

Another shelving unit for all of my kitchen stuff
A cast-iron dutch oven
A cast-iron frying pan
2 really nice wooden cutting boards
2 fine mesh strainers, in two sizes
Dishtowels
A 3-pack of stainless steel cooking tools
A pepper grinder
A set of sheets and pillowcases, dark purple
A new toilet brush
2 stainless steel cooking utensil holders
Some sort of multi-tool thingie
2 lint rollers

I think that's all. We kinda got waylaid in the kitchen section :rofl:

And yes, we are planning to do more "art" tonight. :bounce:

12. It's actually, "filthy, fucking Swedes"
which I kept saying throughout our long walk through the store.

9. President Obama is calling

We have 4 bookcases like that, only in plain white with no decorations.

11. I disagree
I'm a cabinetmaker and have been involved in almost all facets of the industry including producing knock-down furniture. I've found IKEA to be the best engineered knock-down furniture in the world, bar none. I will admit I was befuddled when I first tried to read the assembly instruction until I realized there was nothing to read; a picture is worth a thousand words.
