Dear Ikea,

Dear Ikea. Will you marry me?

Will you?

Will you?

I am a fun wife. Just ask my husband!

I say this because Ikea made my living room fully functional. And for that, it deserves to be wedded to ME.

I bought the Expedit bookshelf today (the four by four) and it is perfect for our living room. We bought a ton of boxes and baskets to store DVDs, doggy toys and we still have plenty of room for (future) kids toys. It is a piece I can see using for years to come and it was only $159. That is such a good deal for comparable pieces (Pottery Barn for $800). I'll post lots o' pictures later when we have all the wires from the new t.v. all hidden. Our living room is finally coming together!
