We Came, We Saw, We Conquered!

Well, we know The Ikea Store in Freiburg like the back of our hand. We have made multiple trips to get much needed supplies and furniture for our apartment and could not be happier with our purchases. 

Ikea stores originated in Sweden and let me tell you...those people are smart (except for the whole socialism thing). They have EVERYTHING: furniture, storage devices, custom built kitchens, accessories, picnic supplies, bedding, fabric by the meter, curtains, artwork, plants, pots......and even a cafeteria! They craftily placed the cafeteria right in the middle of the store so half way through your 5K marathon you can stop for re-hydration, a bite to eat, or even a little soft serve! It made our afternoon even better that we could eat lunch while we made our final selections. 

Anyways, it was a great trip and we highly recommend visiting one in your city if you are in the need of cost-effective, practical, and endless decorating options. I will warn you though that it is cost-effective for a reason: ASSEMBLY REQUIRED!!!

Let us know if you need to do some work in Germany.

"I love Ikea...."

"and it is all ours now!"

Laura: "Please let me get down, everyone is staring at me while they drive by!"
Stephen: "No they're not, they are just jealous."

Stephen: "Are you getting my good side!"

Good thing we did not buy anything else!

Thank you to all or friends and family that made our Ikea trip possible. We are very thankful for your generosity and will be posting pictures soon of our apartment.
