Dear Ikea, ur awesome


I'm convinced in a past life I was from Sweden because the excitement that stirs in me for a trip to IKEA as if I'm returning to the motherland - is just - inexplicable. It is such a magical place... where, really, dreams come true :)

OK! down to business!! If we decide to cut on costs and not do a custom island NOW (gasp), we could, for the meantime get one of these super snazzy table island storage thingamajigs from IKEA that could act as an island, extra countertop space, storage and maybe we could funkify it with some paint to offset the country kitchen look we are going for. I hear these days that mismatching islands from cabinets is all the rave. I'm not so nuts about it - but what do i know? :) I'm gonna go with the crowd on this one.

    Second of all, you're so pretty and I love your wedding pic! :)
    Third - I think substituting the storage/table for the island (for now) is a great idea.
    Fourth - Happy SITS Saturday Sharefest :)

  3. That would be a great idea and I have never been to Ikea either. I feel like I am missing out on something, but there is not one anywhere close to me!

  5. The only trouble with IKEA is that you have to put together most of the stuff. But I do love to go out there and have lunch while I'm shopping. Their Swedish meatballs are the best! SITS sent me by, and I'm glad they did...

  8. I am sure one of these will look great in your kitchen! I don't make it to Ikea often, but I always come home with a car load when I do.
