Give me your IKEA highlights!

I like their coatracks.
We've got a big sturdy brown one for our guest room and I think we're going to purchase the teepee looking one for work.
DH and I both have the 360 pillow and like it.
I also love spending time in the textiles, frames, pots and lighting.

Attachment DeletedAll the Billys. I'm on my 3rd set.

The bath mat.

Part of the fun is the serendipity of finding stuff you didn't know you had to have.

Good luk with your appointment.

Batteries. I stock up every time we go.

YES! I love their batteries!!!  Every time we go I also get a new cheap pillow to use as a cushion insert in our dog's bed.

I love all of the little gadgets and odds and ends in the marketplace.  Verserum frames.  We have ikea hack side tables in our guest room from Lack tables. I love the Sanela curtain panels, down duvet inserts. Waterproof mattress protectors.  Malinda chair cushions (next time I go back i'm getting another set of 4 for our dining table!)

To whoever was looking for closet organization, I got this to help organize some shoes in DD's closet and it's working out awesome. You can stack them (or get a taller configuration). She has the wire shelving in there now and it looks great with it.

I got the shoe organizer, the Hemnes square coffee table, the cute little metal kitchen cart (for the boys' room), plus a lot of little random things. Realized my wallet was in my car, so ran to get it. Then hauled two carts alone to my car and loaded it all myself while at least 4 parking garage vultures waited for me (and then gave up) and 5 ment walked passed and stared at me while I struggled. Hey, thanks jerks!

Need to wear shoes with variated soles, no kid and maybe my own cart next time lol.

I tend to walk past all the big stuff like furniture and look at the smaller things.  I just bought a whole lot of organizational stuff to turn a closet into a art supply storage/wrapping center/mail center, etc. kind of place.  

  Going to use these for paintbrushes, drawing pencils, scissors, etc.

Going to store wrapping paper in these plastic bag holders, like in this picture.

Using this wall trash basket to hold gift bags. I loved this thing so much, I went back and bought 5 more.  They hold winter mittens and hats in one closet, socks in another, music books in yet another, and I took a couple up to work and hung them on the wall to hold stuff.  Love them.

This plate rack will hold my canvases in my art closet.  At work, they hold my electronics (iPad, etc.)


I also have to say that I also like to go there and look at all the stuff, and then sometimes go find it on Craigslist for way cheaper (and already assembled). I bought this 3 pack of Trones on Craigslist for $10 and the turquoise cart for $30.

I just went there on Sunday to buy a picture frame and left with $120 worth of random pillows and bowls (and the frame, of course. Along with about 5 additional frames).

I don't feel so bad now. I didn't intend to spend as much money as I did. I got a semi-lecture/guilt trip and then reminded my H he spent as much on video games recently so he stopped.
