IKEA

The other day, I received my 2012 IKEA catalog in the mail!

First of all, I was excited because it's always great to get something that is not a bill, but also because I really like perusing this catalog.  It gives me lots of great ideas.  And because most things are a steal!

I don't love everything at IKEA, but there is a lot of great stuff there!

Like the Children's Tableware...6 cups for $2!  And these babies are tough.  We've had some for years and the only thing I don't like about them is that they aren't all blue, because everyone wants the blue one for some reason.  And not the light blue one.  The DARK blue one.

I also love this couch.  I do not own this couch, but I've always admired it from afar.  Actually, anything with a white slipcover on it is awesome in my book.

 

I also do not own this chair.  But I think that 4 or 5 of them would look neat on a patio or deck with pillows.

I love this rug.  Love.

I also love SOME of their fabric.  Some of it is a little weird.  It is.  But there is still some good stuff there.

 I recently bought some scissors there as well and they. are. awesome!  And were only $6!  So I got the pinking shears too!  For $7!  Have you ever priced pinking shears, ladies?  They are more than $7, I can tell you that.

 

And their baskets. are. excellent.

Here's what I have decided about IKEA: You have to be selective, but for the most part, they have some great stuff!

What have you bought from IKEA?
