i am the world's biggest ikea fan. my obsession started as a 12-yr old, when my family and i lived in germany. after moving back to the US, i visited an ikea whenever i went somewhere that had one, as my hometown does not.
when we were expecting our first child, my kind parents loaded up on ikea furniture for our nursery and other items for our new house, rented a trailer, and delivered it to me 500 miles later.
now, i just look for excuses to go up to chicago, so i can hit the ikea there. last time i went with a girlfriend, and we got there right as the store was opening up. i was looking forward to a big ikea breakfast, but when i sat down, i found i couldn't eat. my hands were SHAKING because i was SO EXCITED to be there!
