Alyssa and I met Sarah and her mom at Ikea in Conshohocken on Thursday to pick up the remaining items they need for their apartment for when they move in next month. They didn't manage to find everything they wanted there, so we made additional stops at Target and Bed, Bath & Beyond after enjoying lunch at Saladworks. The two big purchases at Ikea included a desk for each of the girls ($24.99/desk) and a small table with a shelf underneath to hold the TV ($30). The desks are very basic, only have a pull out for a keyboard...no drawers, nothing. The apartment they are moving in to is 'furnished', but didn't include desks, and they both kind of could use somewhere to do homework, put their laptops, etc. The only other huge-ish issue is that the apartment comes with a set of bunk beds and neither of them want to sleep in the top or bottom bunk! Hmmm...could be a problem! The current plan includes trying to dis-assemble the bunk beds, store them somewhere (who knows where) and bring twin beds for them to sleep in. Problem is...neither of them have twin beds to spare...LOL!! We think we may have a lead on two beds...apparently Kurt and his brother Chris slept in bunk beds, that can also serve as twin beds, and are supposed to be in the attic of their parents' old house. Just knowing that Kurt and Chris slept in these beds is concerning to me, however...this means that they are probably at least 40 years old (the beds..not Kurt and Chris...they are older...LOL!!) Our intention is to check them out next weekend and see if these beds are a viable option. If the frames are good, then the plan would be to use the mattresses that are in the current bunk beds in the apartment. I'm hoping our lead pans out, cuz I'm not so interested in having to get a new mattress/box spring at this point.
CHARGE!! (Note the pink toilet bowl cleaner!!)
The new shower curtain
Mom...STOP.
That's some huge ceiling fan!

It really looks like you all had a wonderful day shopping. I haven't been to IKEA in years. I would love to go someday again.
I'm glad Jamie was able to use some of the clothes from your kids. Clothes hold up very well if taken care of and stored properly.
Before my sister-in-law, Jan, moved to Florida she had her kids clothes stored up in the attic and some were still in good shape. I had taken some of Jason's, my nephew, and given them to Steph for her boys, so they were put to good use.
