This wasn't my favorite living space, but I did love the fun industrial style coffee table on casters:
This small family room/den has a completely different feel with a feminine, floral look.
Not as colorful, but I like the couch in this sleek room:
Cool chair (wonder how comfy it is) and the open shelves above the cabinet caught my eye:
Here's a cute little reading nook I spotted in one of the living rooms. We have a super cute PB Kids Chair (hand-me-down!) that would be perfect in an area like that. The magazine rack could hold some children's books:
Love the gray. Love!
I always like this "room," but that couple was intent on hanging out! Hard to snap a good pic.
Mixed seating, fun bench:
More gray and white:
I like the details on the drawer fronts and the pulls. They looked solid too:
Oh, to have a spacious, walk-in pantry!
Not really my style, but this is a fun room. I do like the bench:
Check out all this storage space!
Entryway/Mudroom Storage and Display:
Accessories and Gallery Wall Love:
The toddler was happy because he had two big kids to chase after, and the bog kids were happy because they had a toddler to chase after. And maybe also because we took them to Panera for lunch.
I came home with more bins for my $50 Thrift Store Expedit and an inexpensive rug for the back door. I didn't spend much, but half the fun of IKEA is the inspiration!
Do you have a favorite IKEA piece?

I was totally trying to figure put a place to put that red bench in my house the last time I hit IKEA. Cute! I also like the really neutral room.
ReplyDeleteLove all the inspiration at Ikea! Lots of neutrals and love the kitchen pulls!
ReplyDeleteI want...no...NEED...it all!!!
ReplyDeleteOh why oh why do I live so far away from an ikea? So much inspiration!
ReplyDeleteIKEA is definitely one of my favorite stores! and it's 2 hours away o.O so i plan my trips, study the catalog like a schoolbook, and have a list going in. then i just enjoy myself. the first time i went to IKEA i was there for 5 hours. love, love, love!
ReplyDeleteI've been to IKEA twice this month. Man do I love it there! I'm also loving their gray furniture. I've been eyeing their "Ribba" gallery wall for awhile and think I'm finally going to take the plunge and create one for our family room! :)
ReplyDeletei do - oour first bedroom set was the Malm - I still could not let it go (no in our guest room) because its the very 1st major furniture we ever got!! it still looks great and goes with anything! i love Ikea and that black chair on the reading corner - is mine for sure! :-)Glad you had fun!

ReplyDeleteI hope to see you there. Have a wonderful day. p.s. Your children are so cute!
My oldest is finally tall enough to go into the Smallland or whatever they call the baby sitting thing so now I get to look at about 33% of what they have b/c I am only chasing after a 2 year old (that's up from about 17%) :)
ReplyDeleteSo thanks for showing me what they really have there!
How fun! I love the room with the orange bench. Just went to my first Ikea a month ago. Amazing! Thanks for sharing, Amanda!
