Sunday I was feeling like I needed to accomplish something constructive around the house, so I convinced Christa we should goto Ikea. Really it was the mere mention of Ikea and she said yes, but in my mind I was the one who did the convincing… 😉
We had a few items picked out that we were looking at, and most involved storage in one way or another. After cruising the store in record time, we ended up with 2 major purchases: a storage hutch & a 3 door wardrobe.
Last night I assembled the hutch destined for the upstairs “reading room”. We needed something fairly low since the ceiling slopes down, and something within a certain measurement to fit in the existing space layout. This model fit our requirements perfectly. It’s got a couple of storage drawers as well as some big shelves inside the main doors. I think the idea is to store some of the nice drinkware we have like wine glasses, martini glasses, champagne flutes (no we aren’t alcoholics…), and our nicer china set & cutlery we anticipate getting soon to help alleviate some space issues we are having in the kitchen.
I think that’s a perfect addition to the room; makes the area seem more whole instead of just being empty space where we had Bailey’s litter boxes.
