Mike promised me that we might possibly, maybe go to IKEA tomorrow if the weather is nice and he has an easy night at work. I know there’s a lot of variables there, but I love IKEA and I’ve been trying to get him to go back since the last time we were there in 2003. I’ll bribe him with sexy lingerie if I have to.

Since we’re going to be renting for one more year, I wanted to spruce up our bedroom and found a few things that go with our new bedding.

The LACK tables are perfect night stands, and for only $12.99, we can buy two without batting an eyelash. The LYKTA lamp in turquoise matches an accent color in our bedding perfectly, and they too are only $12.99! We have nothing above our bed, so I thought these decorative wall stickers that look like picture frames would look pretty funky. I also wanted to get a laptop desk like the DAVE with legs that will tuck under the front of the couch so I can pull it close like a desk.

So, if Mike’s in a good mood and the weather is warm and sunny, I can get everything on my list for about $100!
