This is even closer than where I parked.
The chairs I chose, of course didn't come in flat boxes. They came in boxes shaped like this:
Does this picture make it look like all those boxes fell off my cart? They did. WHILE I WAS CROSSING THE STREET.
Both these shots were after I had moved to the side of the road, as angry cars zoomed passed that had been waiting for me. Does it look like it was 110 degrees outside? IT WAS. I was too pissed off and sweaty to even be embarrassed.
F you IKEA.
But my chairs are pretty cute.
I also got these little vases.
And frames for my vintage fashion ads.
But it wasn't really worth it. I miss Target.

Ha ha Ikea is pretty intimidating. Never go alone. I remember my first time...you gotta remember to follow the arrows or you'll get lost. I learned that the hard way.
LOL LOL I am seriously dying!!! I am more curious as to how you even fit the chairs in your car! They are seriously so so cute though and I love the frames for the vintage ads that you got.
Mdizzle
It was a struggle getting them in the car as well. Two in the trunk, two in the back seat, two F bombs.
Where was your helper, Zachary???? Ikea scares the crap outta me now. I haven't ever been there and now I don't want to. My neighbor keeps asking me to go and make a day of it and bring the kids and leave them in a play area or something? This now sounds even more like the seventh circle of hell.
I love your chairs, though. And your pics look great.

I hate IKEA! The only redeeming thing in there is the cafeteria. I made Tim go once with me and he was furious even before we walked in.
LOLLLLL to the flipping off and the strewn boxes. I love your chairs.
lol lol. 7th circle of hell is correct.
There is this crazy kid area. I just saw parents checking their kids in and some sort of height requirement and kids with nametags running around like barbarians.
I would have to literally drag Zach to IKEA, and I didn't even want to mess with dealing with him whilst trying not get lost in there.
lol I can't believe Tim went.
Then why does everyone love Ikea so much???? It sounds horrible. I guess their stuff is cute and cheap, but is it worth it??

I am so proud of you! I NEVER go anywhere by myself, and especially not a place like IKEA that requires that you pick out stuff upstairs, have to write down stupid stupid stupid item numbers, and then find them yourself in the warehouse. PLUS you bought big boxes and pushed the cart by yourself? Look out She-woman, there's a new Sheriff in town.
In addition to the above mental image, I love imagining you by yourself taking pictures. Seriously, blogging kind of makes things worth it. Kind of.
lol I know. Zach was like "it must of not been that bad if you had time to take pictures." But unlike him I have the foresight to know when something will be funny later.
Precisely.
I must have laughed for 5 minutes erica. I was most impressed with your middle finger extension declaring your moment of frustration and defiance. I think you could be a Marine. You took the f...ing hill!

Oh, caca-rina cacs I chortled at this scene. I agree with your friend Alisse, imagining you taking picutres alone while your boxes patiently sat on 198 degrees and rising temperatures. Next time buy yourself a dairy cone and 40 cent hotdog before walking out to the parking lot. But your house is so cute and i'm still waiting for your name to come up on my phone inviting me to supper there.
Case I'm waiting for you to show up at my door with dinner.
I think IKEA stand for "I'll Kill Erica Again" so stay away, cause I know my sweet little neice would never use her middle finger unless the power of below were to take hold! Do you remember the time I quizzed you on go to rated R movies and what you said? I'll keep it on the down low, as Grandma has started reading your blog. JK. It goes in my book of ERICA-ISMS. Love ya!
o my LANDS.. did some adult actually say "I NEVER go anywhere by myself"? LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...OHH LOLLLLLLLLLL. that's just brilliant. lol,, sorry I can't stop lololol
