getting settled - 07:30 PM
(filed under 'general')

yesterday i took a trip to ikea to get some sets of drawers for my room & smiley's room. i'd been looking in the catalogue quite a bit & had already decided on what i wanted for smiley's room.

for him, i got one which is a set of drawers that sort of steps up in three sections. the first section has runners for two drawers, the second for four & the third for six. the drawers are coloured plastic tub type things in different depths. there are three different types (three links there) in his, with each type a different colour (not like in this link where the tubs are all the same size & colour. also, smiley's is white as above, not pine), so it looks really nice & colourful. perfect for the room of a three year old. i was possibly intending to fit them into the built in wardrobes, but it looks nice against the wall & when i asked smiley which he preferred, he said he liked them where they were, so the decision was made.

i got myself a similar set of drawers, but mine is just one tall section with space for six drawers. most of my clothes are hanging in the wardrobe, so i really only need the drawers for undies & socks & the like. i think i will put mine into the wardrobe since with a queen size bed in the room, i don't have as much space for other things. there's one good wall for furniture, so eventually i'll probably put some sort of dressing table & mirror against it. i also need at least one bedside table as well, but that'll be for another week when the bank balance bounces up again.

i'll take some pics soon, of course, but things are still looking a bit suitcasey & messy, so once everything is more in place, i'll take pics then.
