Treasures from Ikea…

Thursday 13 September 2012

My weekend had one major positive – the arrival of the latest Ikea catalogue through my front door! I devoured it almost instantly and was left wanting to brave the Croydon traffic in order to buy as much as I could carry to the car! Luckily this moment of madness was fleeting and with a sick husband to console, I did a little internet window shopping. Since every page I skimmed through was bookmarked, I wanted to put a collection of my favourite finds together.

Note the Barometer lamp is on there again this year… hint hint!

  5. I must admit I do love Ikea & they seem to be getting better every year. I can highly recommend the barometer lamp. I bought the barometer spotlights for my kitchen & they look a lot more expensive than they were - I also have the vase which is currently holding some pretty flowers.

  14. Great picks and I am due for a visit to IKEA this week (the closest one is a 5 minute drive but I try to limit the number of visits in a year or I'd be in serious trouble!)

  15. Oh Ikea ....... love it. We just got a new Ikea store and it takes three times as long to walk through it than the old one. Super nice though.

  16. Lovely! We don't have an Ikea in NZ, although a couple of companies import it from Australia and then mark everything up horribly. I am so looking forward to a trip to Australia where I can really experience an Ikea shopping trip. x

  17. I love that lap top table. My new Ikea catalog is sitting amidst stack of magazines and catalogs that I've yet to go through but I think I need to make a trip there soon. Our local Ikea is accessible via a free water taxi :)
