I paired it with some swivel-top tools from Target.com.

Sure if I don't want to be murdered by hubs. <br />Thinkonly IKEA'sin Denver some where or in Salt Lake and we live good distances away from both. There is no way I'll make that trip over Rockies to Denver at this time of year. I'd love to get to shop in one but that trip over to Denver is a no for me. Could get stuck in snow storm and we've seen too many smash ups and awful wrecks on the news. And those people drive like maniacs thru those mountains. Thats way it seemed to me anyway, I'd been away from San Diego long enuf by time we took trip over on our way to Grand Junction when we moved here, and that was in summer. No store is worth that aggravation, lol . So I'llhave to yearn at a distance. I can drool on the internet on their site. Have fun for rest of us without handy IKEA's. Of course San Diego got one or more after we moved to MT from SD. srpprcrftrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02861352034915359506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-87653411427680766412014-10-18T23:11:50.064-04:002014-10-18T23:11:50.064-04:00I do!

I could stay in there for hours. I love the things you purchased. Hanging the banner and decorating it I thought was an adorable idea. I think your son made a great pic! As you enter our front door, we have a blank wall that I often have pics and different things but I think for Christmas, this will be adorable hanging there. Sharing the affordability of the inserts is greatly appreciated. Those darn things can cost a fortune.<br /><br />Take careAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-62020512153242355602014-10-17T11:15:42.434-04:002014-10-17T11:15:42.434-04:00we do not have an Ikea store so i have not been in...we do not have an Ikea store so i have not been in there store before.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16009019295304872840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-50669939828609629802014-10-17T10:54:54.502-04:002014-10-17T10:54:54.502-04:00OK.. turning off computer, grabbing purse, getting...OK.. turning off computer, grabbing purse, getting in car, heading to IKEA...<br />Thank you :)-Joan-http://www.mvobsession.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-62941795105432456552014-10-17T09:10:11.769-04:002014-10-17T09:10:11.769-04:00Wow, it's like you read my mind!

I have been on Ikea.com almost every day compiling a list for when we make the 2 hr trip (are they all like two hours away no matter where you are in the country?! Seems that way lol) to find stuff for our new house that we are in the process of buliding :) I haven't been to Ikea years - any suggestions on stuff not to miss to decorate the new digs?? We need basically everything :) Love love love your blog, it's been a huge help with ideas on how to decorate my dream home!!

We had looked everywhere for one we wanted and that one fit the bill - and the price was great. We bought a set of their Besta casters and added those, making the island a rolling one. <br />We also have the Hemnes series for our bedroom and it has held up great. We have the huge Expedit shelf, the six foot one, and two smaller Kallax. My favorite thing about them is being able to add the drawer units. Our IKEA is about 90 miles away, so we usually have a list when we go. I need to go once, without my husband and a list, so I can have fun just looking at all the marketplace stuff!

I have seen it put up in a playroom (or hallway? can't remember). Where the kids are, anyway. Then the Christmas countdown was pinned up. Twenty-four little trinkets were pinned everwhere. Everyday a special little trinket/toy/candy etc was taken down and enjoyed. It occupied the children during the anticipation.

Have to take my son to Cincinnati for a Dr's appointment and it just wouldn't make any sense not to stop;) I love going to Ikea. I'm from Germany and for years and years I would only get to go if I was there, bummer. Can't tell you how depressing it was not to be able to back my minivan up to it and cram it full of cool stuff, especially when my kids were little! One thing you didn't mention was the food! I can lure my 18 year old son there with the insanely cheap and delicious fish and chips!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04811856102772782293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-62379984331602577352014-10-17T00:14:58.191-04:002014-10-17T00:14:58.191-04:00I wish I'd known!

We spend one hour going through the showroom, we eat lunch in the restaurant, and then spend another hour to an hour and a half in the marketplace. They have so many unique things and super storage ideas. My master bedroom, and both daughter's rooms are furnished with IKEA furniture!

I took my new college graduate son into one to buy him a new bed, mattress, bedside table and linens for his bedroom in the house he's renting with some friends. It was a logistical nightmare! Mind you, that store was in the middle of a massive renovation at the time. But OMG. We finally found 'a guy', grabbed him, and didn't let him go until we'd found everything, ordered it, and arranged for delivery. To have navigated all of that on our own would have taken months. Seriously. lol. I swore I'll never set foot in one again, unless at gunpoint. lol<br />Glad your experience was way more fun!!
