That's right folks, Suzanne and I were in D.C. this weekend for a friend's wedding and somehow I convinced her to stop with me at IKEA in the Potomac Mills Mega-shopping area on our way home today. I told her that all I wanted to do was look at the cabinets that I was planning on ordering for the kitchen and I also needed to pick up 2 glass medicine cabinet shelves.
Well...2 hours later, and we were walking out of the store with a big bag of goodies, and the best part - I was able to actually order the cabinets at the store today! Yep, because IKEA offers an online kitchen design tool, I had been tinkering with the kitchen cabinet layout for about a month now and pretty much had it the way I wanted it. You can save your design to the IKEA server, which I had done, and I was able to access my design right there in the store today! All we needed to do was print out our parts list and the sales associate helped get the order placed.
So, the cabinets should be here the first week of Nov., the floors start getting installed a week from tomorrow, and if I can ever get this blasted order to actually go through the system at Sears.com (don't ask, I'll blog about it soon), then the appliances should be here about the time the cabinets arrive.
Stay tuned, there should be some pretty significant updates on the Blog over the next month or so!

Convince me? I thought I was the one that suggested we stop there. And the big bag of stuff? I suggested we grab one of IKEA's reuseable shopping bags when we walked in the store, but someone said that all we'd be doing was looking at cabinets. Later, when we were both loaded down wth all sorts of goodies, I got to have my I-told-you-so. :)
