"Did the whole place for forty seven dollars" -Ted

Oh Ikea... how we love you!

After watching Ted, we realized it was time to go to Ikea...

Seeing as how Ikea is Swedish, there had to be some around here! We found it a few days ago, but they were closed for an Italian holiday. Cayman says they need to broadcast these days so we don't waste time our precious American time by going into public on them (everything is closed!). So we made our way back to the beloved Ikea after shopping around online and picked up a few things for the house.

A fake Persian area rug! Cayman looked at real ones at a market, unknowing of the price... come to find out they're about $3,000 for a small one! We'll stick with Ikea's!

And so it begins...

Cayman- hard at work!

We both are tired of throwing our jackets and coats on the ground of on door handles, so we figured we'd get a coat rack! How European of us!

We picked up some posters in Rome and again in Paris. Finally framed and ready to be hung!
We finally have an entertainment center! Before it was just: TV on the ground with a pile of cords next to it. This looks so much nicer!!!! 

While Cayman was slaving away on the entertainment center, I made dinner! Sautéed chicken with Italian herbs and olive oil and yellow rice and black beans for sides! 

We picked up an area rug, a coat rack, entertainment center, coffee table, end table and three large poster frames for around 350 Euro! The house with be complete by the time I leave!
