Good morning! I hope you all had a nice weekend. I spent some time antiquing with my mom (sadly I didn't turn up much but the shopping and the company were wonderful) and visited Ikea, twice. Mike and I had sort of an ordeal with dinner out on Saturday evening en route to Ikea (service and wait staff were horrendous at this little Turkish restaurant we like) so we ended up getting to the store with literally minutes to spare. It was the fastest Ikea trip ever, but we picked up a chair for our living room and when we got home and put it together, we liked it so much we returned the next day to pick up the matching ottoman only to find out the cover is sold out until February (argh) so we ran through the store, again, picking up a few things for the house and getting lots of ideas and inspiration for our kitchen renovation.
I'm always so hesitant to shop Ikea because it sort of irks me when I walk into someone's home and can tell where every piece of furniture came from. I'm not opposed to new furniture or big box stores, I just believe in a well rounded collection over time of truly great and classic pieces, mixed in with a few current trends here and there. However, Ikea done right with your own personal touches and styling can really be amazing...
