ikea

Had a great time this weekend with Bartel cousins. I made the trek up to Woodbridge, VA with Jonathan and Chelsea and we met Kristine up there. There was laughing, there was eating, and we were all exahusted by the end -- sounds like a typical Bartel gathering, no? I forgot to bring along my iPod so that we would have theme music for the road trip, so here is the IKEA song in all it's glory. Adrian was the one who first shared this with me (on a previous IKEA trip no less) and it has been played on every trip thereafter.

My major purchases during this trip were Bestå bookcases (in black-brown) for our living and dining rooms. We need storage that can be childproofed and a bookcase with options for doors and drawers seemed like the winning plan for us. Everything is assembled, but the configuration is still being tweaked. I'll post pics once the final arranging is complete.
