IKEA UPPLEVA TV
When you want inexpensive furniture you can put together without the hassle of “words” along with a side of meatballs, there’s only one place to go. Soon, while checking the specs on some IKEA items with your paper tape measure, you may stumble upon something unexpected. UPPLEVA is IKEA’s answer to your current cluttered TV setup.

To be honest, they could have slept together for a really long time but inevitably one of them would kick the other while sleeping and immediate crying would ensue. We decided to separate them. Although the desk stayed, we did move out everything else from the room and added the second crib. What happened next was absolutely my fault. I take full ownership. Read More
