Looks like a trip to Ikea is in the works for this weekend. Our closest Ikea is an hour and a half from the old Brick House so I always try to get my game plan on, especially for a trip to the big blue and yellow on a Saturday. Arguing couples, college freshmen and lost kids. Should be fun filled.

Fact.

MASKROS is the shiz.

I saw this a few weeks ago on a quick trip through Ikea and was amazed by how HUGE this light is. I was worried it might look super crappy cheap but was pleasantly surprised by the fabulous drama it delivered. It needs another look-see but this may just be a contender for the guest bedroom.

BÖJA

This IS NOT the light I really want to talk about, but I can’t remember what the new rattan UFO spiky pendant thing is called and it is nowhere on the website. Anyways – I LOVED that light (whatever its called) and only sort of dug the BÖJA. Both need another looking over.

Update:

IKEA PS VÄVA – Thats it.

I want to see if I can check out the SPRAKA pepper mill. I’ve been unsuccessful finding this crazy thing so far, but hope it pops up during my pursuing.

TÅRNBY

Every time I go to Ikea I stop, I touch and I look longingly at this rug. I keep trying to figure out where I could throw it down…

and the master bedroom just might be a winner. Anyone purchase this big jute baby? Reviews?

So, is there anything else exciting I should be on the look out for? Besides a hot dog, a lingonberry soda and a vanilla cone on the way out…
