I was like, why are you so obsessed with me?

(Thanks for the blog title, Mariah) ;)

I’m obsessing.

It all started last Wednesday when my sister asked if we wanted to go walk around Ikea with her and the kids after I got off work. She just needed to go to the As-Is section to find a door for her makeshift pantry. It’s pretty neat looking.

We spent 2 ½ hours walking around the dang place. It probably could have been longer if they weren’t closing at 8:00pm.

I love IKEA.

Our plan was to not buy ANYTHING. Payday wasn’t until the next day, and we have a month full of bills to begin tackling…much like every other American.

Abel picked up some tea lights. I was ok with that. They were only a couple of bucks each pack.

Then we got to the As-Is section. (thanks, Kristi!) ;)

Let’s back up for a minute…..

For the past 6 ½ years, our bedroom has been a hodge podge of furniture.

Dark Oak dresser & mirror.
Golden oak side tables.
No bed frame…just the metal one for the box springs.
Lame.
For the past 6 ½ years, we consistently talk about buying furniture for the room.

Back to our IKEA trip…

We came across a bed. 50% off just because it had a little dent and scratch on the back of the headboard. For those of you that know IKEA, their furniture isn’t very pricey anyway.

So, now I’m at a crossroads. I have all of these grand ideas for our room with little space and a little budget.
My newest obsession is finding the perfect bedding. It's a hard feat when you have one person that loooooves color and the other that wants to keep things basic.
Just you wait….I’ll probably end up with something drab and boring.

I suppose we should probably finish landscaping our backyard (also left undone for about 6 years) before I move on to another endeavor.

I’m sure this won’t be the last post about this subject.
