I'll admit, I looooooove IKEA, and the mini-vacation that is walking around IKEA. XD Their home displays are wonderful. I especially love their kids' bedroom set-ups and their mock kitchens. There's no real way to find what you're looking for in an in-and-out sort of way, though, that's for sure. @__@ I'm glad you found the picture ledges eventually! I'd love you see your paintings sometime. :)

Glad you had a mostly happy holiday! :))
