Okay, I admit it. Sometime Ikea has adorable stuff.

The hubby and I have an apartment with woefully boring walls, so we've decided to take an oath and burn maybe $50-100 per pay period at IKEA to fix things up until we're satisfied.

Our problem with the walls - landlord won't let us actually put nails or screws in the walls to mount things, so we have to find extremely light frames for our artwork, so the mounting strips will hold. And the stuff we found at Ikea last night was awfully heavy. But we found some frames, and a nice Lack side table on the cheap.

But...while shopping I fell in love with the Knubbig table lamp. Dear lord, where has this cute thing been all my life? We're doing the front room in black, red, and silver, so the white Knubbig is *aces* for a little side lamp. Got one, going back next week for the next one and another Lack table.
