Ikea makes white boards (under $20 each) that are pretty nifty. If you work in an office that has white boards, you know how fun they can be. I like them just for doodling...my practical wife loves these for posting photos up. But since we went digital a few years ago, we end up looking at photos our friends mail us. Fancy photo album.

William I think made a great dragon here. He even spelled out D-R-A-G-O-N with M's alphabet magnets. Little did I realize some of the markers he used were less Dry Erase and more Caked On. Best stuff to use for getting these suckers clean like new? Bon Ami, my father's favorite cleanser that he swore by!

Ikea hardware...in action videos!

Ikea Grip Hardware

I took a spare moment this evening to mount some hardware we picked up at Ikea over the weekend. I've always liked the simplicity of these pulls. They work and give a nice clean look.






These doors on the sink cabinet will get long handles for dishtowels. We have a long bar on the dishwasher, but it's a tall tub, so the dishtowels end up wiping the floor when you open the door. I suppose I could clean the floor more often...



BTW The blue espresso cup is a commemorative cup from the 2004 summer Olympics that my sister picked up. I love Athens. I spent a summer studying there, and it was one of the best experiences I've had.
