Shopping at IKEA

Kaefer and I went to IKEA today because she wanted to get a certain bookcase. Since we had lots of time we strolled through the showroom and the "Bermuda Triangle" (the market place), had lunch and finally got her bookcase. Here are a few of the things that we liked.


This lamp is just gorgeous - not necessarily a good source of light, but certainly pretty unique.

I just love these bed sheets.

My all time favourite kitchen - only I wouldn't opt for black tiles.

And finally this mirror - wow, I love that one. Perhaps one day I'll get it for my "studio". Reflected in it you can see the reason for our trip to IKEA - the Expedit bookcase.

I love, love, love IKEA! I'm not sure if it's the displays, the fun design, the prices or the marvelous intersection of the 3!

I LOVE Ikea too Carola!! They have this REALLY cute kid alligator mirror that I want to buy for Tara. Unfortunately though the closest Ikae is like 2 hours away!! thanks for sharing what you plant in your garden of courage...it is difficult but so well worth it. I heard this quote recently..."be yourself. everyone else is taken." I thought it was funny yet insightful!

I too LOVE LOVE LOVE Ikea!! When I lived in southern California we use to go all the time. Now it's a bit too far to drive just to browse but when we first moved to Virginia we made the two hr. trek to Ikea to buy bookcases & a tv stand. I always long for the large canvas prints but what I'd really like to see my own photos & art on them someday!

Thanks for the wonderful comments on my blog. I took your advice on things to perk up my spirits and it did help.

Hello, Carola. Thank you for your kind comments on my blog. Your blog is beautiful--so clean and uncluttered. I've been wanting to visit Ikea for a long time....perhaps now I will finally go.
