The IKEA nesting instinct

We have a new futon! The fact that we got the damn thing home in the car is a miracle, because all we had to use twine and our own god-given ingenuity (and a little help from the Ikea guy).
That's not to mention the matress, matress cover, and my new nightstand.
Still, I am so psyched, because it's pretty and it isn't broken like the other futon so you don't hear cracking sounds every time you move or sit down. Which is a big plus.
This is what it looks like in the pretty catalog. It's called "Beddinge".
This is what it looks like in practice. Ignore the completely non-matching curtains or the crowded end table next to it!
This is my new nightstand. It does match something (the dresser). It was not only the right height, but the cheapest one they had. It wasn't a real necessity, but we did have a gift card - and! - it means we can clear space by getting rid of the two end tables by the bed that I have my journaling junk and stuff sprawled out on.
Since I was messing around with the digital camera, here are some pictures from about Thursday, when we got a buttload of mutant snow dumped on us. Having never seen such lousy Smarch weather [/simpsons reference], I thought it was picture worthy.
