When I move out, my flat is probably going to be entirely furnished by IKEA. I like it! and the prices aren't through the roof so it makes me happy. :jess:

IKEA:
ah the memories
IKEA is either very expensive for what you get or very cheap for what you pay for. At least in my experience. That's not to say I don't completely l:love::love: the place to shreds.
God I want to go shopping at IKEA now Jess. Jerk. I need um...a new everything. Especially for my closet.
I find the quality of IKEA products to be pretty poor. I've had this desk for like half a year and the paint is already coming off on the edges, without me doing anything weird besides resting my arms on it. The leather on IKEA chairs tends to wear down pretty fast as well.
On the other hand, the food there is pretty good. I just wish those hot dogs came with brown buns.
I am going to buy a floor bed from IKEA. And an entertainment stand. I love IKEA.
I find myself on the IKEA website a bit too often. I need... new everything in the way of bedroom furniture. I need a double bed, and new clothes storage the most. My drawers are all pretty broken, because they're years old now... and I have so many clothes I can't keep them all in the drawers! argh. :jess:
I got a desk, two underdesk storage systems, and a mini-iron board for when I need to press things during sewing projects for 80 dollars! BAM! All I need to get is my chair, but all in all, I should be coming in under my budget. The table is white, which doesn't go with the desk, but it goes with my dressers which are white.
Also, did you know? I got my eyebrows from IKEA! :jokey:
The only good thing to come out of Sweden is the Walking Swedish Murder Machine :colbert:
IKEA is awesome. It reminds me of the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark :D
I've honestly grown tired of Ikea. Sure, it's cheap and that's really nice, plus they have a lot of different stuff. It's just.. everyone goes there, and so everyone ends up having the same furniture from Ikea. That's booooring to be honest.
That doesn't mean I don't have anything from Ikea, though. I have this room divider/book shelf from Ikea that I like, and now that I've moved away from home I went there the other day. Ikea is really good for practical stuff, like boxes to put under you bed, cheap foldable chairs for parties and such. Stuff like that I'll gladly buy there, but anything else I try to buy elsewhere. I don't particularly care for living like everybody else.
And yes, going to Ikea is frustrating with all the people and maze-like routes.
I love the maze! Follow the arrows!Quote:

I have nothing against the maze per se, and I can find my way through it very easily. It' just that there's usually a lot of people in Ikea when I'm there, and so you're sort always standing in someone's way, or someone else is in your way etc. It could've been done better imo.Quote:

But yeah, sitting in a couch and just looking at people going by is neat :)
The maze was cute to me, but it drove my Mom NUTS! She was so confused by how IKEA. It was really funny. XD
I don't think I could be more happy with how my sewing station came out. It looks absolutely adorable. And I have my picture frame with that wonky pink picture that my printer printed when it was out mostly out of ink of Hux and I as an inspiration piece.:love: :love: :love:

I love it! I have lots of storage space for my fabrics and I could organize my cutting stuff and my spools of thread. I even have room to iron!
It was really fun to assemble too. I got to use my Dad's power tools!
Is that ironing board from Ikea too? I think I almost bought one identical to it the other day.
