Ikea inspiration

February 27, 2012 by Julie 6 Comments

Our house was built in 1950 which means the rooms are small. Other than the furniture that my husband builds, a lot of our furniture comes from Ikea. The small style of Ikea furniture fits perfectly and it’s one of my favorite stores. I took a trip there recently and found several things that I really liked.

This platter with the birds. Especially that owl in the corner. (It’s probably obvious that I like owls.)

These mugs remind me of dandelions

I liked this platter with pretty tea-cups on it. 

And these lamp shades with embroidery

What stores do you like to wander through?

    I’ve always loved those lamp shades! And IKEA is one of the best places to wander. Especially their “as-is” section. It’s so much fun!

    Oh Julie, I have one more reason to admire you. Ikea is the craziest store I have ever been in. It’s like a maze nightmare to me. I so admire people who love that store. I’ll have to go with you sometime. Love, Robynn

    I like embroidered lamp shades so much that I embroidered my own! Love the bird platter. 🙂
