Last weekend, Cloe and I went on an adventure to our local Ikea (Springvale for all you locals). We were looking for some big furniture pieces, like bed side tables, buffet, and bookshelves. Sadly, we didn't find exactly what we were looking for, but we had fun anyway!
We came back with a few odd bods, and were pretty happy with our purchases. Mainly because we also bought candy and chocolate, but that's a story for another day!
So, Cloe bought:
- Doona cover
- Wardrobe inserts
- Draws for wardrobe insert
- Shower caddy
- Washing hamper
- Waste bin
I think there are a couple of other things she bought as well, but I can't for the life of me remember them!
- Laundry hamper
- Rails & containers
- Laptop stable table
- Doona Cover
We both bought a fair amount of candy, which Cloe then decided to eat on the way home.
I must admit though, I forgot to take many photos during our time there, because I was just enjoying myself too much! Actually, I only took one photo... Sorry!
I saw this, and thought I might be able to replicate it for Justin with all of his collected movie, gig and concert tickets. I know he loves having them, like little paper reminders of the fun things he's done, so I'd like to be able to display them in a nice way for him. Plus, I figure if I copy the tickets and get them printed on coloured paper it will look just as good!
At our house, we already have a few things from Ikea, mainly a lamp, wine bottle holder, touch lamp thingy, and some photo frames. But there are so many things on my wish list. Like...
EKBY VALTER - $99I need this shelf in my life. Like need. I'm thinking it would be good in my bathroom, because there isn't much storage in there at the moment, besides the tiny under sink cupboard. So I could put my hair ties, clips, hairbrush etc. in there, and have a shelf as well!
ALGOT BASKETS - $33
This I think would work great in my pantry. Because we have a corner pantry, sometimes things get lost in the corner (even though I put lights in there). So I'm thinking I could attach this to the inside of the door, and put packets of soup, cans of tuna, muesli bars and other little food items in the baskets.
STOCKHOLM VASE - $49.99
I am in love with the colour teal at the moment. I saw this large flat vase and instantly fell in love. I have no idea where I would put it, I just want it.
As I mentioned before, our bathroom is tiny, and we don't have much storage. Normally, these shelves are put in the empty space above the toilet, to told air freshener and extra toilet paper, but because we have tiles on the wall, I can't mount it there. So I'm thinking maybe on the opposite wall, but we'll see.
So there you have it folks! Next time we go, I promise to take more photos!
