Ikea shopping spree

My Ikea jones is satisfied for the next little while. We got all what we wanted, plus some unexpected stuff (as this is a trip to Ikea after all), for what'd we'd allocated money-wise. Also, shockingly, all the items we wanted were in stock in the self-serve aisles. That's never happened to me before.

For the kitchen, we got:
LEKSVIK Gateleg table and some cheap folding chairs until we have a bit more money to get some nicer ones. We did get some cool cushions to put on them though. I also bought a magnet board where I'll be able to put most of my collection on. As per the tradition, I also bought some cooking utensils – a pierced ladle that I can use to deep-fry things.

For the living room, we got:
EKTORP Three-seat sofa (in white) as well as a nice multi-toned beige rug and a really nice tryptich of a landscape printed on canvases. It's really pretty.

For the master bedroom, we got:
LEKSVIK Chest of drawers with 4 drawers for my clothes.
LEKSVIK Wardrobe with 3 doors for Katy's clothes, with extra storage for towels and bedding.
ASPELUND Bedside table as cheap and nasty bedside tables.

Choosing the bedroom furniture was the worst of all, because the chest of drawers I originally wanted wouldn't have fit in the place we wanted to put it, and then neither of the original two choices for the wardrobe ended up being suitable. In the end, we found an acceptable compromise with the LEKSVIK furniture.

We also bought a nice duvet cover that'll match the paint scheme and feels really, really nice, as well as some plain white muslin drapes. I'll need to measure up a proper curtain rod but that's no biggie.

For the office, we got:
MIKAEL Corner work station (in birch) which will really help with the organization of the loose paperwork and bills :)

All in all, it came to just over £1000, which is what we'd budgeted. When we have a bit more cash to spend, we're going to get a shelving unit for the kitchen (GORM) and see if we can get a storage chest for the bedroom, as well as another bookshelf (either the second bedroom or the office – probably NORREBO).
