DgtlWriter does Ikea

This weekend my partner and I hit up Ikea for a spot of planning, as we’re in the process of buying a house.  We also happened to be in Cardiff, and on the doorstep of an Ikea – can’t wait for the eventual opening of the Exeter branch sometime in 2018.

We managed a whole 10 minutes before we started arguing – anyone else beat this record?  Apparently Mr D believes in practicality when it comes to wardrobes and I’m a bit of a dreamer (of the walk-in closet kind).

We managed a compromise....or I kept walking, one of the two...and managed a whole 90 minutes before the next eruption.

Over a plant pot. 

Well, three pink ones, which are gorgeous, and are perfect for craft storage (crochet needles/yarn/gel pens) in our new home: in my actual craft room/home office/guest room/emergency shopping stash room.

I may have to put up one of those signs

And I know I have enough glitter glue crafting supplies to make it pretty, too.

But then I won a free doughnut because I’d used my Family Card in Ikea’s #swipeasurprise promotion so argument number two suitably avoided, and my sugar levels were rebalanced.

We are polar opposites in the Art (me) and Science (definitely Mr D) worlds, but we’ll work out an arrangement, because we’re both solution-finders.  And we both love a challenge.

Maybe next time I’ll take a friend along, though....I’ll already have the perfect hiding place for the shopping haul.
