Ikea Loot

Ever since that 2011 catalog came in the mail, I have been itching to go to Ikea.  I am lucky to work near an Ikea, but I usually heed the advice of my piggy bank and with a lot of restraint keep myself to about one trip per year.  Luck for me, I just happened to be in need of some curtains so it was time for another trip to my favorite Swedish superstore last week.
This time around, I didn't need to buy any big ticket items so I was able to score a lot of loot without my piggy bank crying "wee wee" all the way home.  Although I may have screamed "wahoo!"  Okay, not really, but I felt like it!  Check out all of the awesome items I bought:


Ikea is the best for all kinds of organizational tools and little things that can make your home function much better.  Some of my favorite purchases from this time around include:








I'll be sharing how I'm using these items soon. In fact, I may just do some pantry organization this weekend with those pretty Slom jars.  That's right, don't be jealous, I'll be organizing my pantry this weekend!  I know it won't compete with my weekend, but any super exciting plans for you this weekend?  Have you snagged anything from Ikea lately?

I just found out today there is an Ikea near Cincinnati. I thought the closest one was in Pittsburgh. A visit is on my To do List. La

I love those storage boxes. We use them in the living room. So handy and good looking.

Just found your blog from Picket Fence Blogs. Unfortunately, I have not snagged anything from Ikea EVER because we don't have one anywhere near us. So I'm always very jealous when anyone posts about their Ikea finds! :) I suppose I could just look on the web site, but maybe I should just stay away...
