In general, I was unaffected by my trip to IKEA on Sunday. It was mostly as I had expected. Generic looking furniture and shelving in very blah colors. We ended up buying a lamp and bulb, spending a total of $25. But, there was one item that has snagged my imagination, and I've dreamed of it in my living room two nights running. The Poang chair. mmmmmm. Poang. mmmmmm.

Thinking ahead to the time when I'll have a baby spitting up on everything I own, my daydreams are leaning towards the more expensive leather models. With ergonomic footstool. mmmmmm.

It may not look like much. I sat in it as a joke, attempting to show Nilesh how it might look nifty, but probably was as uncomfortable as everything else in IKEA. I was wrong. I never wanted to leave the slightly bouncy, perfectly placed headrest, uber-comfy chair.

He tells me that IKEA often has sales in November and December. That's months away. In the meantime, I sit in my hardbacked, non-bouncy, kitchen chairs and drool over pictures of a poang.
