LOL....I was just at Ikea on Thursday...and restrained myself to a bunch of rugs I'd gone there for.
Oh sure I was tempted...and badly with other things, but my car is small and I'd had two really GOOD cups of coffee in their restaurant-thing before I started shopping and had to pee ~ so there was no time to waste looking at things that require Allen-keys from Hell.
I wisely left the credit card at home, that limited the madness. For the first time I really only bought what I needed: a mattress. I knew there were sales, and I really made a good deal there. But otherwise - yikes. I usually go there planning to buy a cushion and return with half a living room....
Allen-keys from Hell
AHAHA! When we took my old day bed apart, we realised that the fitting keys were missing. IT WAS HELL! We fought half an hour with a screwdriver and scissors...
I just skipped over the entire kitchen section and didn't even GO upstairs to look at furnishings. Yes I fingered a lot of stuff...but if I couldn't put it to work immediately or had to dust it...I walked.
We fought half an hour with a screwdriver and scissors...
...omg the nightmare. Been there. Done that. I learned a LONG time ago to TAPE the Key to the back of the cupboards/bookcases or under the bed or...whatever, so that when you get to taking it apart its right there.
Why can't they just use the same tools that everyone else in the WORLD uses? GEEZ.
They have this amazing, "vintage 60ies" looking RED kitchen. I'm in love with it! Thing is - you don't really need kitchens here in Switzerland, unless you build your own house. The majority of flats already have a (mostly really ugly) kitchen fitted in. But every time I see this thing, I do some daydreaming. Now, considering that I'm the most unhausfrauly of all unhausfraus, this is very weird and I think I need a shrink.
But it's so red... and shiny...

Where would the fun be for them if they did? Bloody sadist Swedes... ;-)
It remeinds me of all my Hall fridgeware....you get all hot & bothered by your red kitchen. Me. I fondle my collection of shiny 1930s ceramics and purr madly....
