Goddess, I Am.

Since I got married, I’ve developed a strange, mounting obsession with home furniture. That’s right! Beds, armchairs, tables, shelves, lamps – you name it, I want it. And because I believe IKEA is the furniture Mecca, I am therefore, obsessed with IKEA by extension.

Today, I am sick with a nasty sore throat AND a really, really bad toothache. I am cranky, headache-y, and extremely unhappy. So to cheer myself up somewhat, I spent the afternoon poking through the 2010 IKEA catalogue. And like vitamins to the soul, this did the trick:

I’m off to Singapore in April with The Family, and I’m dying to get one of these then. The only question is how on earth am I going to take the whole thing home, all the way to Cebu? Here’s hoping that the joint baggage allowance of 5 people (and a baby) will let me. I swear, I’ll go naked, if Cebu Pacific will only let me.

On a side note, guess what I found?

Yes, it looks like my lamp is really from IKEA after all. Or more accurately, it is an ÅRSTID table lamp, sans the little dangling chain.

FYI, CAMG in Parkmall carries most of the lamps in the catalogue, albeit at slightly higher prices.
