A bit of trivia about me: I love HGTV. I love flipping through home décor catalogs and mentally building my future house. I can play Sims for hours straight just so I can build and rebuild and redecorate a Sim house. I used to draw what I thought Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield’s rooms might look like.
So, it is no surprise that places like Ikea make me giddy. I feel like exploding with excitement when I go to Ikea, but I continually impress myself with the amount of composure I exhibit when I am there.
When I realized the Ikea was pretty far from Gakuentoshi, I was a bit bummed, but was still willing to go there so I could buy some decorative things to make my flat feel more like me. Then, I heard about a little slice of nirvana called Nitori. Not only was it cheaper than Ikea, but it was within walking distance. (Not to mention, it is very close to a Yamada Denki.)
I had to practice a lot of restraint in order to not buy out the entire store. I picked up new sheets (good-bye daisy duvet!), new curtains (Blackout! I’ve foiled you, sun!), a lamp (mom and dad would be proud), and new rugs for the bathroom (I do love snowflakes, but it is the middle of summer…). No doubt I will be going back for more lighting (have I mentioned the FLOURESCENT glare that makes everything look slightly zombiefied?) and maybe some more decorative things to hang on the walls.
