IKEA

We are getting ready to furnish our apartment (which we still have to find) so today we went to IKEA. The visit to IKEA was supposed to take us only a couple of hours, but we ended up leaving the store five hours later, tired and hungry. That was the biggest IKEA that I had visited so far. Excellent selection of items!

The plan for today was to pick out the main items for the apartment, so that when we are ready to move in, we can just go into IKEA, select the items and then have them delivered to our apartment the next day. My biggest concern was that we would not find anything we liked at IKEA and would have to end up buying furniture from various stores. Well, there was no need for concern as we were able to find the essentials for every room in the house.

We found a kitchen table and chairs, bed frame/matress, pull-out sofa, TV stand, computer desk and chair, fridge, kitchen plates and utensils, and lots more. House furnishings are pretty expensive in Australia, so it was a life-saver to find a store with nice and inexpensive options. Our place is going to look great!

I am going to view several apartments tomorrow morning so wish me luck!
