1. Take the card. Tell him you're doing an intervention.

[Fran Kubelik]

10. Ikea sheets are really rough in my experience

Amazon runs some great high threadcount sheet deals periodically fyi.

IKEA - I recommend the wood blinds. :)

[bridgit]

13. hm, wood blinds, could be...the sheets i already have from there seem alright...

maybe we're just being 'spartan' about the whole thing :hi:

[Fran Kubelik]

17. I think I am just spoiled.

I used to be ok with IKEA sheets until I splurged and got some really really nice sheets recently. ;)

They also have these great curtains with big ole metal gromets. :) I love them.

[bridgit]

18. actually, hubby is big on kitchen stuff, so will prolly get items that compliment...

that componant; come turkey day i get to be assistant, and he has a head full of recipes since when he was a kid so i mostly just let him be himself...

BUT I STILL WANT NEW SHEETS!! and now that you mention it, Fran, NICE ONES!! (mostly just kidding ;))

how's Bed, Bath & Beyond sound? they have very cool stuff in there

15. Billy shelving in black-brown.

Once you get it, if you can't use it, send it my way!

[bridgit]

16. haha, will do...
