I must be the only person  who admits loving Ikea.
Its far from glamorous, all flat packs, everybody has the same, meatballs, weird Swedish names, hundreds of people everywhere, screaming kids, yet  bring me to Ikea and I am like willy wonka in the chocolate factory.

Have you ever wished you could stay 1 night in a shop?
(I know, I am probably the only one..) You know the way, its closing time you get stuck in the shop, and you must spend the night there until someone will rescue you in the morning.
Well I could  easily spend the night there, I would try every single sofa, bed, chair, bunk bed in the house!

Urban outfitters would be another place I could spend a night in!
 
So yes I love Ikea, I am always excited and giddy when I enter the shop, catalog in hand  could spend hours daydreaming looking at the kitchens and bathrooms, and utensils, and chairs, and wardrobes.

Chairs, seriously have a look at them, 100's of them and shelves, I have a thing about shelves, I love them. They make any room look better.

Anyway, here's just a  few things I got on my latest trip.
JANSJĂ– LED clamp spotlight IKEA Uses LEDs, which consumes up to 80% less energy and last 20 times longer than incandescent bulbs.











IKEA STOCKHOLM Throw IKEA Mohair wool with a silky luster.
My new favorite blanket with  40% mohair and 20% wool
EXPEDIT Shelving unit IKEA Can be hung on the wall or placed on the floor.


.... and our coffee break

 


 

 

I just wish I could have had a go at this too...

autumn


I need summer, but let's face it. Autumn is truly upon us. Time to get cosy, light up the fireplace, make some delicious stews and soups, sort out our winter clothes, bring on the ankle boots and jumpers, coats, and woolly hats.


So, I have just updated my profile, and will give this thing  a serious go.
