I didn’t get a picture…. another Kodak moment lost 🙁
5) candles (thousands of them)
I bought this pretty candy holder for $9.98 and the pretty apple green candle was .25. Yes I said 25 cents!!
7) the restaurant (YUMMY) ~ the store is two stories tall so after we were finished with one floor, we took a break and had lunch in their cafeteria style restaurant. Miss H and I had swedish meatballs and Miss M had salmon. We all LOVED our meals. It was a nice little break before heading out and tackling the next floor.I wanted to look for things for my house as well as Miss T’s office (You can read about it here). so I had my eye out for purple things for her purple office. Lots of purple!
I bought two large white shelves called Ribba Picture Ledges for 14.99 each.
These beautiful babies were in a corner and I saw that beadboard backing and had to get a closer look. We’re going to build built-in bookcases in our family room SOON (hoping the LOML can hear me!) and I could copy these. The bead board and trim work are just what I love. The LOML likes the doors on the bottom. The glass doors are pretty too. So many ideas, so little time (and money!!)
Here’s a more straight line unit that was very pretty. I love the rooms IKEA has set up all through the store to give you some wonderful ideas on furniture placement, colors, accessories, and lighting.
All through the displays, you could always find cute little accessories like these. Kind of disturbing but cute at the same time.
Beautiful lighting ideas were hanging over our heads as we shopped and ate and………
NAPPED!!!!
Miss M really wasn’t sleeping. She was either trying out the chair for her son’s room or she was praying that I would stop taking pictures of her. Not sure which one (or a little of both!).
We had such a great time yesterday. We didn’t even scratch the surface of the store though. We’re making a date to go back soon. Thank you Miss M and Miss H for making my IKEA experience so fun and for allowing me to put your pretty faces on my blog! Love ya!
Have y’all been to an IKEA store? I have lived a sheltered life until yesterday. Now I can die a happy woman 🙂

Hello, Neat post. There’s a problem with your website in internet explorer, could check this?
IE nonetheless is the market chief and a large component of people will miss your magnificent writing because
of this problem.
I’m spoiled. We have an ikea less than 30 minutes away. I find myself going on lunch breaks and having lunch at the cafe! I’m glad you finally got to experience the amazingness of Ikea!
Katie~I’m so jealous!! I had such a great time and we’re planning on going back. I can’t imagine how often I would visit if it was as close as yours is! The food was really good too. I was surprised! Take care. ~Linda
