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

[cimorene]

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.

Pretty!

[cimness.livejournal.com]

Almost 100%, at this point!

The sudden increase in green is a profound improvement, very soothing!

Love it! I covet those shelves, and I'm still a little in love with your sofa.

[hollsh.livejournal.com]

I can tell which desk is yours!! Baby pictures!! <3

and I HAVE THOSE WOVEN BASKETS!!!

YOU HAVE THE COUCH.

That couch haunts my dreams. *covets*

Lucky we have the same favourite colour!

Ivar are very affordable Ikea shelves! I really like them a lot; there's something graceful about the natural wood minimalism.

And of course, the sofa. Well, you know, it's clearly awesome. Only by being long enough to sleep on stretched out could it be better.

Hahahha, yep. I have quite a baby picture collection now. The baskets are kinda empty right now, since I apparently overestimated the quantity of stuff on the shelves needing to be hidden. But I'm sure they'll be full of shit soon enough. :p

Yes! The couch is a prized possession. Luckily both of us fell for it. It didn't take too long for us to talk ourselves into buying it.

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!

I need to send you more. ;)

It's so neat, organised and funky.

[vellum.livejournal.com]

envious!

[cimness.livejournal.com]

More are ALWAYS welcome!

Do you have any Matthew Good band stuff? He's Canadian, right?

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!

I disdained organisation as a child, but who can say no to little, lidded green boxes?

♥

[hollsh.livejournal.com]

I have tons! :)

[cimness.livejournal.com]

Oh, maybe you can aim over some tracks when we're chatting next time! Wax wants some, I don't remember what she asked about, though. I only have one song (Hello Time-Bomb).

[hollsh.livejournal.com]

Okay! I'll hopefully see you soon! :)

[cimness.livejournal.com]

Oh, she says it was Avalanche she was looking for... I guess that's an album.

[hollsh.livejournal.com]

Got it :)
