The mattress situation is different in Europe and that’s one of those things you don’t expect to be different but it totally, totally is.

I guess you don’t call things king size and queen size when you’ve had actual kings and queens

The thing Americans really need to understand is that branding things as European is the most absurd marketing ploy ever. This mattress is European-engineered! So advanced! Actual European mattresses: “I hope you like falling into a chasm if you try snuggling your partner”

I know it's cliche as hell but IKEA is basically my aesthetic

unfortunately trying to furnish a Spanish-style house with IKEA stuff is very......clashing lmao.

It's like I just want my minimalist Scandinavian design sense to match with all this goddamn tile and wrought iron

My ex was a Swedish speaker so it was a letdown as we walked around IKEA and shw explained the names:. "sturdy"; "the name of a Swedish river" ; "boing".

How many Allen keys (US: hex wrenches) did you wind up with at the end?

Surprisingly not that many. Most of the furniture mainly required a Phillips screw driver, so I used my power drill to save time/energy.

Have you stayed at a Hôtel Étap? I found them to be a good 'as actually implemented' for Ikea-ized spaces. Good luck and hopes that you continue to enjoy the nesting/planning!

I furnished my whole post-divorce apartment with Ikea, that I built almost entirely by myself (a friend helped with the bed frame that was just too big for me to do alone), and I love every bit of it. Enjoy shopping, building, and living.

Oh, paint the back panel of the bookcases before attaching them to the frame. So pretty!
