I Love Me Some Ikea

I promise this will be my last post about Utah, but you know I can't possibly go to Ikea without sharing some of my favorite finds with you!

Like this great bench (love the pillows too):
These great (and inexpensive) enamel pitchers :
This fab white dining room furniture:
Don't you love the combination of the dark walls with the white vanities and mirror?:
Mmm, I'm loving this soothing bedroom:

I especially love the upholstered headboard:

Lovin' the curves on this little nightstand:

Have a great week!

P.S. I said "love" 6 times in this post. I think maybe I need a thesaurus :-).

    I love Ikea, too. Sometimes they have some cute stuff - some of it's kinda "funky" though. I always wind up spending more money than I planned. ~ Robyn

    I'm planning a trip to IKEA this week, too. I could lose myself in there for hours!

    I know now that I will definitely be getting a few of those super cute pitchers.

    LOL! I have the bench, the pitcher, the bookcase that's in the dining room shot and the chair, but mine is red. I LOVE me some IKEA.

    I've never yet been to Ikea. I really need to for the storage but so far haven't been able to face it as everybody says it is such a horrendous experience with all the frenzied crowds! I wish you could shop online with them!

    Some terrific pieces and photos! IKEA is always fun and I'm fortunate to have one minutes from my house.

    Now I'm going to have to hop in my car and head back up to IKEA! ;) I think they must do the "apartments" similarly at all the IKEAS. Some of the rooms you took photos of look a lot like the ones I took pictures of on my last trip up. We must like some of the same things. :)

    My 200th post Giveaway went up yesterday (Sunday) with my Thrifty Treasures post. :) Come by and check it out if you have a chance.

    Yay! I love how much Ikea has changed their style over the last few years. How much were those enamel pitchers? I love them! They might be worth an hour drive to get a few!

    I love Ikea as well. I hope you are having a fabulous time. You just reminded me that I have quite a few projects to complete and I must make it to Ikea before the end of the day.

    Love IKEA - but you do get what you pay for, at least in my opinion! I love to get frames, and children stuff there.

    I go to Ikea in Brooklyn from time to time to pick things up! I loved shopping there in college, but I still love going..I also like Crate & Barrel, Restoration Furniture and places like that. Hehe

    And no one has better magnetic boards than Ikea...and the pitchers are adorable...!

    You have listed everything that I love from Ikea. Here is a link to the pitcher you saw. It was in decoration, cuz they don't list things the same way other stores do.

    Thanks for reminding me why I filled almost all my bedrooms and living room with stuff from them!

    This post has highlighted for me the fact that I have an Ikea LESS than an hour from me and have never been! What am I waiting for?!?? I told want that vanity AND sink for MY 1/2 bath which is a warm charcoal color. The white would look so much better than the light oak that's in there now!!

    Hey-
    I hope you are getting back into your non vacation routine. Did you get your package from me? I won a give-a-way, was told it was mailed and have never received it so I am just checking to make sure yours arrived.

    I am starting a NEW Mr. Linky party. It will begin on Aug 10th so everyone will have a week and a half to think about their first post. I have a poll up for votes on which button should be the new button. The "party" is called The Knock Off Knock Out-where THRIFTY meets creative sensation. Go over and learn more about the new weekly event and I would appreciate if you would cast your vote and HELP pick the new button design and its the last week for the July GIVE-A-Way, if you would like to be a part of that event..
    Cheri

    There was a vignette set up in our IKEA of a whole apartment - it was all tiny and compact and blue and white and I just LOVED it. I used to go and check my kids into the child care and just go sit in that little apartment and leaf through the IKEA catalog and pretend I lived there. (Yes, I'm weird.) It was my Happy Place. They eventually disassembled it to do another display and I have a little pang every time I pass that corner now. (Maybe I am spending TOO MUCH time in IKEA?)
