Oooh, furniture!

I spent part of last night browsing the IKEA website. They have three-drawer chests in PINK! (clicky-link!) Guess what I want for organizing the storage room? (I also want the pink and red chest of drawers (clicky-link!))

My eventual goal for the storage room is to transform it into office/crafting space: have a small desk up there, and one of the sewing machines. (And, I suspect, some sort of air conditioner, because the upstairs gets unpleasantly hot in the summer. Dammit, now I have to research small air conditioners or fans.)

During the Great Clearing Out, I found many vintage gloves. Some pairs, but mostly single gloves. So now I need to dig out my other box of mis-matched gloves (I know where it is; on a shelf in the bedroom), and see if I've found the mates to any of them. And then I might make myself another pair of embroidered fingerless gloves ...

I have the mamut chest (in pink!), and lemme tellya, that sucker is heavy! And solid, once it's assembled. I can park over 300 pounds of stuff on it, and it doesn't even notice. Ivar, it ain't.

I know my tastes can be really out there and over-the-top, but I think this is pretty darned fun as far as fans go:

Depending on the assortment of odds you're working with, you could "marry" two lonely gloves with something in common...I do this all the time with earrings.

This is a bit late because I forgot that I bookmarked this item for you. Even if you don't fancy it, it's still adorable eye candy.
