I'd love to throw everything out (except my new sofas) and refurnish completely with IKEA bright, light, and white furniture.

I haven't been able to get to IKEA fo...5 years! I haven't been able to get to IKEA for 6 months and i'm getting withdrawal symptoms. Like you I mainly buy replacement items, but I also love looking around, and every time I go there, I wish IKEA would start building houses to fit their furniture - or even selling flat pack ones!!Looking for Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10010049814419812468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692517788030253147.post-51569728823335160712018-06-16T08:58:37.496+03:002018-06-16T08:58:37.496+03:00Oh yes, I also love the You Tube IKEA makeovers.

I always do a walk through the upper floor which is the furniture. They have just redone things so lots of new room & apt. sets ups to see. Then I get a coffee or lunch before I head downstairs to THE MARKET - which is all the smaller stuff. I really do try to restrain myself these days and stick to reusables like serviettes. Sometimes I don't buy anything - I just go for a wander and a coffee. It's a great place to get in my daily steps when the weather is bad. Once you come through the main tills you find the food section where I often buy frozen salmon, pickled herring, flatbread or a jar of lingonberry sauce! I have all the furniture that I need (or have room for) so my last major purchases were 3 sets of towels - excellent value - and a new table lamp for my favourite corner of the sofa when I want to read at night.<br />I also love all the IKEA hacks that you can find online. Glad that you and your friends had such a nice day.Margie from Torontohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103835021764804099noreply@blogger.com
