So. Much. Ikea.

Over last weekend, we went to Ikea three times in four days. The first trip took five hours. I did not realize how much stuff we did not have. We got into the kitchen section and realized that we needed everything: plates, silverware, cups, pots, bowls, etc. Plus, we needed lights and tons of furniture. After our first trip, this is what we bought:

On our second trip we discovered that we could get Ikea to deliver our purchases, which we took advantage of on our third trip. I hope that the trip number will not have increased again by the time this posts, although we've been eyeing up the couches in the "As Is" section and almost bought one on the third trip. However, they did not have any more covers for the couch, which is kind of a deal breaker. The couch that was left in our apartment by the previous tenants has a trundle underneath and slips apart as you sit on it...
