IKEA: Supporting the procreation of Europeans since 1943

Dude.

Did you know that it is estimated that 10% of living Europeans were conceived on an IKEA-produced bed!?! That's over 83 million people according to Wikipedia!

Holy lingonberries and meatballs!!! 

How do I know this? I read all about it on Mental Floss. You should check it out. It is jam-packed full of delicious information morsels. Unnecessary extra information that is totally worth the brain space. This is the kind of stuff you need to study-up on if you plan to become a Jeopardy or Trivial Pursuit master. Here is a link to even more stuff about IKEA that you should totally spend time learning!

I love lamp.

I love making stuff. All kinds of stuff. This past weekend I decided to make a lamp. I thought I was going to get to use my new drill and ceramic/glass drill bit, but my make-a-lamp kit did not require me to drill a hole into the Ikea vase that I had chosen for my base. I finally got to use the pattern from that pillow on something. I love that pattern, but I just am not a huge fan of excessive pillows all over the couch - so I had to find another place for it. Luckily the lamp we used to have on that stand was ugly, so after some painting and assembling - voila!

Problem solved.
