An IKEA Weekend

The vanity in the kids bathroom is falling apart. That is no good because that is the most used bathroom in the house. I got a contractor to come in and price a replacement. Momoko wanted to pick out her own sink. She said she saw something cool at IKEA, the furnishings store from Sweden. So Momoko and I went there this weekend.

IKEA wants to take care of you while you shop. They have extensive child care, as well as a big cafeteria. Momoko and I both had their 99 cent breakfast. We added all you can drink sodas for an additional 65 cents. That was good. Then we went to the bathroom section of the store.

We could not find the exact sink Momoko saw in the catalog. Their vanities also look like they only fit non-standard faucets. I am very particular about the type of faucet I buy. It must be a brushed nickel surface. And it must have a tall spout that is not too close to the edge of the sink. So I think IKEA will be a no go for our vanity.

We did see some nice clothing storage options. Momoko has a broke down mini dresser that is not meeting her needs. Only thing we need to figure out is whether the closet sized storage furniture will fit in our bedroom. Momoko did pick up a bunch of finger puppets at IKEA. On a totally separate note, you must see this video I found describing what pwned means.
