The fruits of an exhausting, yet rewarding trip to Ikea:

Corner shelves, green coffeetable, green rag rugs, little green lidded boxes, baskets, wooden photo frames, white reading lamp, kitchen curtain fabric. The chain of cranes is the result of my feverish folding during a Doctor Who marathon with anglepoiselamp and lexandros last weekend.

The kitchen curtain panels are AWESOME, and I covet the fabric. Mmmm. You have the best taste!

I am always (after two years!) surprised by how much greenery there is inside your apartment. I love love love the plant tumbling down over the bookcase, but I have no idea how it survives two cats and a dog! When you went to France, did someone water your plants for you?

Also: green boxes! So contentmentmaking!

The curtains are part of the new designer Stockholm collection (http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ny/seating-dining-sidechairs/ikeas-stockholm-collection-023378), which also has several other brilliant prints and some really lovely furniture, like this:



Chi house sat for us when we were in France and Germany, which was a cool deal for her as well as for Perry because her own apartment is a tiny little oven.

Also, the plant was, up till the introduction of the corner shelves, inaccessible to kitties: the bookshelves that made the dividing wall were too far away from anything else to jump on, and too packed with stuff to be scaleable. Now they can jump up from the couch I've already pried Lily off the top shelf once. Hopefully getting up and down will be too much trouble for them to attempt frequently!
