Our Quasi-European Adventure - Part 2
09 24 2009
Seeing how we were already embracing the European lifestyle lately with our trip aboard the train, we decided that we should embrace European concepts some more.
We took an impromptu trip to Dallas this week in search for some furniture, more specifically a coffee table. Now why would we go all the way to Dallas for a coffee table when we have umpteenth furniture store in the greater Oklahoma City Metroplex area? The answer lies with the fact that I have been bugging Mrs. D-USA for the last 12 months to embrace sleek Swedish design.
That's right, we took a trip to the nearest IKEA store. After breakfast and a long walk (1.5 hours) through the store we left with a nice quality and cheap coffee table. I do believe that Mrs. D-USA had a good time at the store, and I think we will go back with a rental truck after we buy our house. Mrs. D-USA has a more traditional/classic taste in home decor, and my taste is more modern. I am sure we will pull off a nice mix of classic/modern when we are done decorating the new house.
After the trip to IKEA we made a stop at the German Deli store. I have ordered from them online a couple of times before, so I figured if we are in the area anyway we might as well drive by there. Mrs. D-USA was nice enough to give me free reign throughout the store as an anniversary present (6 years on the 27th). So with a Swedish coffee table in the trunk, and German food in the backseat our European adventure came to an end and we made the long trip back to Oklahoma.
