Ikea Breaks your Heart, but not your Wallet

I've been offline for a few weeks now and I suppose that I am due for an update. I've been working my ass off for the past two or three days cleaning and redecorating my room. Interior design is not my niche and I most certainly do not pretend to be any kind of expert, but I know what I like and I like Ikea.

My most recent purchase ... Fado.



They were inexpensive and I'm dreadfully in love with them.

Now I know this is a major 'duh' moment for anyone who knows anything about anything, I just never really cared until now. I've never really paid too much attention to it before, perhaps because I live in the dark, but mood lighting does everything for any room.

I realized that my room is not just a place to avoid having sex in or a place to conveniently pass out after a night of binge drinking and coke snorting. It is my private space and it should be precious to me, so why not adorn it with lavish (or in this case, remarkably cheap) gifts?

My next purchase?A Forsa table lamp... nickel plated of course.


And a couple of Santir wall lamps for accent lighting.

Now you really should be aware that in no way is my pitiful excuse for a room in any way large enough to accomodate all of this light, but it's nice to have choices.

Next up ... curtains.
