making home

buying an ikea kitchen

we wanted to buy a kitchen - christian and i. this picture was taken a few days after New Year's (could be on the 4th). Eric needed to work that day and we needed to price our new kitchen so Christian and I scooted off to IKEA and we waited and waited and waited (zzzz....) for the sales staff to price our kitchen. It took us like 2 hours in total and by then, it was major meltdown time since Christian had to sit in the cart and there was really nothing to look at except cabinet doors, and laminate surfaces (We didn't notice that butt in the background.... until now, when I uploaded the picture onto flickr). So, he cried out of being tired (and I felt extremely guilty) - finally, we got the pricing done and we desperately needed to flee from the swedish giant because at that point, I was having a meltdown majoria myself. Back in the car, the poor little fellow fell asleep.

the price of the kitchen? $6K (Singdollars) excluding delivery and worksurface and a motherlode of opportunity costs (Christian's and mine).
