Meet the two new pieces of furniture in my inventory. One is all set up in my room already, and the other is waiting downstairs in the garage until further notice. They may not be the prettiest pieces, but they serve their purpose.

The dresser will be joining the room once I get rid of the hideous bookcase mentioned as task #075. I made two separate trips to Ikea in a span of two days to pick up these items. The original plan was to get the loveseat only, but then I went to the “As Is” section and grabbed the dresser instead.

Talk about impulsive shopping. At least the dresser was on sale [30% off], and the pieces were already put together. Everyone knows that Ikea furniture is a bitch to build!

I won’t be doing that much. The economy’s not looking so hot. But I also picked up these:

Typical Ikea lighting.

    Fun :-)

    I’ve decided to do some retail therapy today, to recover from the previous week.

    I sort of enjoy putting together Ikea furniture. It’s about the only good thing about moving every year – more excuses to assemble furniture!

    My ex owns that lamp.

    @neil: Yeah, I know. If I have anything major to assemble, I’m inviting you over!

    @Keane: Everyone owns that lamp. It’s Ikea! :P

    That’s a mighty fine looking couch!

    @Kimchihead: Don’t be fooled. It’s cheap Ikea furniture! Smells a little funny and will probably fall apart rather quickly.
