IKEA Gets

Tuesday, January 17th, 2012 | 36 Comments

Sunday night I went to IKEA and picked up a few things for my office. Yeah, my cubicle. A few months ago I sort of purged my cube of all decor in a sort of MUST DE-CLUTTER TO THINK way. But now it feels cold and I really want it to be a warmer space. A la Korean office goods or sorta zakka trend style. Besides if I change my mind later or something I love everything I got and can use it at home!

The little finger bowls are perfect for emptying my 100 calorie packs into. Makes the snack seem to last longer than just eating them out of the bag like an uncontrollable cookie monster. The KNUBBIG is a small table lamp. I plugged it in today on my desk. It gives it such a cozier atmosphere and it’s nice having some extra light that isn’t from giant overhead florescent bulbs. And the faux greenery… greenery is so good to have surrounding you even if it’s fake, haha.

Monday the contractors finished with the repairs. Now my house smells like new paint but that should air out soon. It’s actually so mild tonight I have the window open for ventilation!

I spent the 8 hours they were here to gather items for a donation drive ran by the Lupus Foundation! They accept nearly everything! From clothing to housewares. You then schedule a pickup (I did it online) and they’ll pick it up for donation. It’s wonderful and a great excuse to finally let go of things you know are still in great condition but you have no use for it. They take the items and sell them raising funds for the foundation.
