So, I got this in the mail today. I immediately freaked out. A brand new IKEA catalog is one of my highlights of the whole year. Maybe just as much as going to IKEA itself. I'm a very lucky person, and this modern, alluring and glamorous megastore is just a few miles away from home, you get there in 20 minutes (less with no traffic!).
Anyway, I would love to be on an IKEA catalog. To actually be a model on an IKEA catalog. Everything is perfect in the picture. Perfect people, perfect family, perfect food, perfect books, perfect decoration and, naturally, perfect furniture. The scenery is calm, nostalgic, it gives the idea of the perfect life. Thus, I want an IKEA life with IKEA furniture and IKEA family. I already consider it my second home. Well, it's a tie between IKEA and the Internet, but seeing as you can match the two very easily with a brand new white, red or even blue table accompanied by a comfortable chair, it doesn't really matter.
And have you seen the kiddies section? All the stairs and shortcuts and passageways. There are even rooms with freakin' SLIDES. I remember wanting a slide when I was a little girl. I just wanted to wake up and get that dose of slidyness and that would be how I'd get my energy for the rest of the day (which now would be equivalent to my daily dosage of coffee). I was actually a very lucky girl: I didn't have a slide, but I did have stairs. Yeah, stairs. I'd enter my room, my bed would actually roll out of its hiding place, and then I had a small staircase (which were also drawers!) and then I had a little table on top, and it was just magical growing up in a room with stair-y furniture. No photographs of this wonderful room were ever taken (or so I believe), which makes me sad and even more nostalgic.
When I have my own place, there won't be no second-hand or crappy furniture from crappy stores, and there definitely won't be any makeover shows. No. My life will be IKEA-filled and IKEA-happy. Here's to the perfect life.
