Furnish me!

My car's coming! I hope it gets here soon because then I'll have a blanket and pillow! Now, never believe anyone when they say you'll likely be able to move into your place early... the tenant seems keen on staying until the last possible day or something. Geez. I most likely will be buying a cheap sleeping bag.  I wish I had a floor plan so I'd have measurements to furniture shop with, but even doing it in the first weekend will be fine. I'm excited!

I need

Kitchen
- pots/pans set (WM or Costco)
- steamer, spatula, can opener (WM)
- simple set of utensils (Ikea?)
- basic pantry stuff from T&T (soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, pepper, corn starch, spicy sauces, rice, pasta)
- rice cooker (Costco, failing that...T&T/Chinatown)
- microwave (hmm, wonder if I can get a used one off Kijiji :) I realize I don't really microwave *that* much to invest in one LOL)
- food (another entry in itself)

Bathroom
- simple bathroom shelf suited for a place with high humidity (ikea or JYSK)
- cheap towel for use as a bath mat (anywhere)
- toilet brush (ikea $1)
- stack of toilet paper (Costco or WM)

Bedroom
- double bed/mattress

Living room
- desk (same Ikea desk will do)
- coffee table (another Ikea $29 table)
- mat for shoes at the door or a cheap shoe rack ($ store, or Ikea)
- couch with fold-out mattress (Ikea or JYSK)

What else do I need to furnish a simple, small rental apartment? Why can't one of those people that decorate the 400 square feet Ikea bachelor suites do my tiny 1 BR? :)
