(driving through the Midwest, this is really all you see)

This weekend we decided last minute to travel up to Chicago and pick up come upper cabinets at Ikea. We knew exactly which ones we were going to purchase and the goal was to be in and out in a matter of an hour or two. Five hours later we left with completely different cabinets. This is par for us.

Seeing as our floors are old growth pine, our lower cabinets are refurbished 1950’s cabinets painted Hynda blue-gray, and our counter-tops are tractor trailer flooring, I was a bit leery (still am) about adding another color and surface, so we’ll see how it goes [insert crossed fingers here]. Worst-case-scenario, we scrap them and use them as storage somewhere else.

I do have to say that I was really, really excited to pick up some fabric from there as well. I just haven’t found fabric in St. Louis that I’m excited about, so I stocked up. :)
