as a budding interior designer about to start my first semester of classes in January, this would be a lovely motivator. maybe i can fiiiinally get my apartment to up to the 'showroom' standard that i've been dreaming about. i have a knack for making Ikea look like a million bucks...
and i work just down the street from the Swedish mecca, so i'd be easy to pick up.
hooray!

Thank goodness I still spend about half of my time in Southern California, in Sunny San Diego. Nor Cal may be where I attend school, but the warmer climate down south has my heart. Speaking of, so does this incredible living room set. I loove Ikea and I loooove AT so what is better than to get such a lovely present from both. So cool.
(Crossing fingers!)
Thanks AT!

When my hubby and I got married we couldn't decide on living room furniture, so we ended up with these frumpy green couches that (although they're really comfortable) are really too big for our apartment. In fact, the movers had to lift the couch in through our balcony and glass door. I think it's time we got some sleek updated pieces. We would love this!
