That is ALOT of shit from Ikea

We are ignoring the fact that I still have no floor. Finishing that is both too boring and too stressful to contemplate right now. So instead let’s redo my living room. It’s roughly shaped like a singlewide, only slightly less white trash. So what, 25 ft by 12 ft? Sounds right.

First, the walls. Good bye baby poop chocolaty strangeness.



Yes. That is an actual picture of my wall. I know. It’s AWFUL.  Lets go with a creamy beige instead. But not the hospital kind. The soft backdrop for dark furniture kind. Like this maybe?



And speaking of furniture, lets buy these.

This is for the big screen TV I don’t have yet. It’s 299 at Ikea. I’m going to tape rice paper or some other prettiness to the inside the glass so you cant see all the shit I shove in there.



This is also going to be papered, cause no one needs to know we have more DVD’s than Netflix. I might need two.  Also 299.  Gotta Love Ikea.  We have to have the computer in there. And he hates the desk we have. And I hate the way he keeps it. Or rather that he doesn’t keep it clean. So. . . Either 399 or 299.




In my head the second desk looks really good with 2 dark wood floating shelves neatly organized above it. In reality, he’ll just make a mess.  I like the second one better but ‘cause of the aforementioned lack of tidiness we’ll probably end up with the full cabinet.  Fine. But I’m getting these for organization. 3.99-4.99 per 2 pack.


Other things I want but don’t know if they will work.  119-149 each.





And ‘cause the room is so narrow, a chair and loveseat make much more sense than a couch. So let’s get these, minus the ugly throw pillows.




Sadly, not from Ikea. Lazy Boy. And for the set, including the Ottoman, 1547 .00. OUCH. If not that then it’s back to Ikea for 698.  But I'd have to stain the legs.



Hmmm. What else. Curtains? 49.99 a pair, Ikea.  I need two pairs.



Assorted whatnots.  I need new frames.  And art. Like stuff my kiddo has done.  And like 3k.  And four days to put all that Ikea shit together.
