IKEA Shopping Trip


It's raining, it's pouring- the perfect day to visit my favorite big box store- IKEA!
From storage solutions to creative merchandising and design, if Ikea does not sell it, you probably do not need it! European influence and a modern look gives Ikea their own look. Clever design makes ordinary pieces stand out and work in most spaces. Even everyday objects are given a twist to make them less mainstream. Of course, you also cannot go wrong with Ikea prices. I admit- what I really like- are their awesome escalators for your shopping carts! They transport your goods right next to you on their own escalator line- great idea!
Check it out!
Miscellaneus finds and creative displays:
Ikea carries a great selection of funky fabrics and rugs as well as furniture, bedding, kitchen needs, lighting, and accessories. Seasonal items are also available- right now its a bit more garden settings than at other times of the year.


Office and creative outlets:
Storage, storage, storage! Also some great funky to useful office chairs and desks.


Bedrooms and closet solutions:
Small space, large space- you can still have a closet according to Ikea.


Kitchens and in-store restaurant:
Ikea is known for creative kitchen solutions. They also carry a wide variety of china, utensils, and kitchen accessories.

Living spaces:
Build the bookshelf of your dreams- this one was about 25 feet high!
