IKEA

Ikea, where do you start and how do you explain? If you haven't "experienced" IKEA stores, then you probably will not understand my depression. Why is it that it just takes one visit to Ikea to make you want to put all your furniture, artwork, rugs and accessories, maybe even your life on E-Bay? New Ebay auction: Mother of four sells all belongings for a new IKEA fresh start or my pitiful attempt at decorating high bidder takes all??? Why is it, that you can wander the Ikea Store for three hours and feel that Ikea inspiration to run home and have this uba ultra organized home? Just curious, do Scandinavians have the market for ADD or obsessive compulsive disorders? Clean, stylish, organized; yes, I wish that described my home as a result of shopping at Ikea Stores. The irony in Ikea is that I enter Ikea so eager and excited to purchase all those things that will change my home (perhaps my life). Yet, I leave with a pittance of trivial trinkets that I probably could have found at Target. Despondent, I exit feeling that I need to get a fung shei advisor before I return. I think IKEA stands for I Know Europeans Annoy!
