We are just about finished updating our bedroom and it is all things IKEA. I get happy just going to IKEA to get ideas, smell the cinnamon buns wafting through the whole store, and most importantly to get Swedish Meatballs, yum, how I love them. It’s a delicious plate of adorable meatballs with just the right amount of sauce, mashed potatoes, and lingonberry sauce, Oh, sorry, I lost my train of thought.
Anyway, 20 years ago we bought our previous bedroom set. You know the Queen Anne cherry kind that we liked back in the day. Since it wasn’t the most expensive furniture it began to, well how do I say this, bug the living daylights out of us. All the wood strips under the drawers stopped holding the drawers, went in uneven, and what you must know, made this horrible screeching noise when you shut the drawers. We have been talking about getting new furniture for a few years, but life gets in the way sometimes. Well, around Christmas, I pulled a drawer out, heard the “noise” and may or may not have lost it. I hurled the drawer to the ground, it kind of broke, so I was not satisfied, so I picked it back up and threw it again, ah success! It broke in several, unrepairable pieces. Good riddance to you, I say. Rich mentioned he hadn’t seen me lose it like that before. He must not remember our first few years of marriage. I loved to slam doors. I have grown out of those things, but I just lost it, OK? Sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands.
All that so say, I have found a tranquil space again in our bedroom. We got new Pottery Barn linens, and I will admit there is no substitute for good linens. Oh, so heavenly. It’s just about where I want it to be. A little more touches here and there and I think it will be perfect.
