So here’s my loot. It’s not a whole bunch, but I went for the looking, not so much the owning. It’s mostly organizational things for school, but there are a couple of pretty trinkets for the classrooms, too. I bought a nightlight, some canisters, lots of magnet-y storage things, some clear wall bins, some plastic placemats, a wine rack, some bowls, and a pillow.
The only thing I bought for home is for Brad’s room, which is ridiculous because he lives next door to the IKEA in Baltimore. I couldn’t resist, though. It’s a bolster pillow that goes with the winter bedding in his room. I liked the stripes on the cover, but once I saw how they packaged the actual cushion – I was sold! It combined my love of gadgetiness and vacuum sealing in one, flat airless package.
What didn’t I buy? A new chair for school, a kitchen sink and wooden countertops for home, a lamp for the living room, a cool glass pitcher/cubby thing, and a steel toilet seat. By the way, Gretchen, I took the quiz and failed miserably! For those of you who aren’t completely sick of me going on about this, I leave you with this. (I forgot that it has a little swear in it. Ignore that.)
