Room dimensions

For my own reference:

Living room - 13.5' x 10' with one wall 16'
Dining room - 9' x 7.5'
Bedroom - 11.5' x 14.5' with one wall 12' and another 8'

Total floor area (including closets, bathroom, deck, fireplace and storage): approx 650 square feet

Now to figure out what to buy and how to arrange it. ^^;;;

I also can't imagine what I'd use a wood-burning fireplace for, especially in summer

Shopping at IKEA

30 items and a lot of money, $1653.53 later, I've got pretty much everything I need to get for at least the next 1 year. ^_^

Some of the items in the haul:

• a sofa-bed


• a twin-size bed, complete with mattress, sheets, pillow, pillow cover, etc.


• a chest of 4 drawers


• a bedside table with two drawers


• Several lamps


• A computer desk


• A coffee table


• Dining table and 4 chairs


• 18-piece crockery set (mostly plates)


• A TV hutch/thingy


• Two barstools

I'm really grateful to the people at IKEA, especially the cashiers and the people at the self-serve warehouse, who were very willing to help even though it was almost literally closing time. ^^;;;

And I'm especially grateful to itsacz for obliging me by taking me there in the first place, being patient with me while I agonized over many things such as the length of a desk, and finally being especially patient with me while I ran up and down in the self-serve warehouse and came out with about 3 loaded flat carts in addition to what we already had. ^^;;;;

I also had a nice dinner (beef stew with rice for me, and the famous Swedish meatballs for him) with him. ^_^

*hugs*

No, that does not imply anything :P
