Moving House = Ikea

Have been on the lookout for a flat with a bit more space for a while now and am happy to tell you that the look is now over! While it came furnished with the essentials, there were a few bits and pieces we still needed to pick up which meant IKEA TIME! For the real Ikea experience you must:

1) buy some furniture
2) buy kitchen utensils / folding laundry baskets / and similar things that you didn't know you needed until you saw it at Ikea (and it was so cheap anyway so what's the big deal)
3) eat Ikea food! Yes, I'm talking about you Swedish meatballs, Hotdogs, Swedish cake-biscuit things and all of your friends.

After accomplishing 1, 2 & 3 we came home with..


The sheets, pillows, quilt and covers on the bed and the desk & chair 


and the white drawers.


Here's our open plan kitchen


and roast garlic chicken w/ stir-fried asian greens & mashed potato that I made in said kitchen and just wanted to show off.


Living area with small balcony..

It was the most garlic-y buttery chicken ever, not for the faint hearted! Strangely, we had a bigger TV in Crows Nest where our apartment was smaller.. but lets not give Adam any ideas OK?!
