IKEA

IKEA furniture is under 30 newlywed furniture...for assembling after you get home from your honeymoon. A lot of it takes 2 people to put together, it comes with these cute little diagrams, and you're supposed to put it together as a couple, in your first new home together...you can make cute home videos, laugh a lot, maybe have a food fight, take artsy looking Polaroids, etc...I know this movie scene. Young (he's 28, she's 23), shabby chic couple (he has emo hair of course, she has an ironic T-shirt), on the floor in their bare living room of their first married apartment, putting together this fake furniture (that they bought on their budget...he's a graphic designer for an indie music website, she works in a coffee shop...local, not corporate), getting things wrong, laughing hysterically, listening to Sufjan Steven (Michigan album), making first memories together, they probably ate an appetizer of chocolate covered edamame and mint tea beforehand. That's what IKEA furniture is for.

So that's why I never got anything from IKEA. Sounds like they wouldn't have let me into the store without a black turtleneck.
