If you are unaware, IKEA is coming to Cincinnati! Whoooootay whoooo!

I have been waiting for it’s grand opening with bated breath since hearing this wonderful news in summer 2006. I love IKEA. In fact most of my furniture is from the Chicago store. I made a grueling 24 hour round-trip there in 2001 and came back with an entire truckload of stuff. In fact I furnished my living room and bedroom (including couch, but sans mattresses and bed frame) for around $2,500. It’s definitely become one of my guilty pleasures. I have to hit IKEA anytime I’m in Chi-town visiting friends or in Phoenix visiting the fam. I’ve even called my stepmom and asked her to pick up items and ship them to me. I’ll admit that it’s not the highest quality around. But when your a single girl, affordable and stylish wins out every time. To have one just minutes from home may be a death wish for my checking account! I’ve been tracking the progress of the big, blue building for months… it’s just a couple of minutes from my dentist’s office. And what’s even more exciting is the announcement that the Cincinnati store is opening on March 12… which just happens to be my birthday!!! I might just have to party in the store.   

Well, to clean with anyway. These little guys kick all kinds of arse.
