I also bought 75-cent vases for my wedding reception with clipped flowers for less than what one centerpiece would have been!

My daughter does, and she loves it. Of course one of the huge reasons I don't have any is because I love sooooo far away from any Ikea.....plus I detest putting furniture together!!Debbie - Mountain Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18401931842031353732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-68315475616822842352019-01-14T12:18:22.243-05:002019-01-14T12:18:22.243-05:00We do not have an IKEA close to us.

(And take a truck and trailer with me!) I had no idea they sold butcher block!

You can't beat the price, and I haven't had any trouble with cushions, and we've had them for years.

There was talk of a store opening here, but I think that’s fallen through. It’s too bad because we have at least 6 colleges within easy driving distance and I bet students would frequent the store. Maybe someday.Ginnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04920963862516551109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-26624753137124144692019-01-12T16:13:37.115-05:002019-01-12T16:13:37.115-05:00We have had an Ikea Goteborg couch, Karlanda chair...We have had an Ikea Goteborg couch, Karlanda chair and love seat for over 15 years. all well lived on by kids and pets. The couch, with back cushions off, is bigger than a twin mattress and comfy to sleep on. I just buy covers from BEMZ when they need a refresh. BEMZ makes covers for Ikea furniture, even the discontinued furniture like the Goteborg. We just bought the Kivik sectional earlier this year and love it.

I took off all the back and side cushions and put a mattress pad on it with sheets and it was one of the most comfortable beds we had! Everybody liked sleeping there. lol It held up beautifully, and I just let it go a few months ago. <br />CamilleAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10247245063785482341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-28498228869716027102019-01-12T09:28:11.095-05:002019-01-12T09:28:11.095-05:00How do you put together the "board" of i...How do you put together the "board" of items?

But I’m not sure why I’m so surprised. You’re going to laugh but I LOVE our Ektorp sectional and love seat. You can’t beat the washability of it!! It’s pretty cozy and I love it still after 2.5 years!laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14524371814570413666noreply@blogger.com
