One For Val

This post is almost exclusively for my friend Val, who's in town (well, the country) for only a few weeks until she and her little ones have to go back to Mexico.

It's also, to a lesser extent, for all the *other* twenty-or-thirty-somethings who once bumped Snoop Dogg on fuzzy speaker boxes in the trunk and now shop for funnily named, sleekly affordable designs at everyone's favorite Swedish home furnishings superstore. You know who you are.
