I HEART IKEA

Let me clarify, I heart Ikea on a Tuesday afternoon, not a Sunday afternoon.  

That place is an absolute zoo on the weekends. 

I was in the vicinity and I needed to pick something up for someone 

so I braved the crowd and I came out alive.

And I came a with a few great finds!

Like this classic khaki and white large buffalo check duvet cover (with 2 shams included).

It can be found here.

And now it can also be found here, on my bed.

Our old duvet cover was very heavy and I took it off a few months.

This duvet cover is light weight and lovely.

I also removed the stiff pillow forms from the stripe pillow covers 

and replaced them with some insert I had previously scored at Ikea.  

Big improvement over this.

Wow, just noticed those lamps. I think they could stand to be switched out. 

Looks like I will be on the hunt....

I also picked up the most adorable royal blue and white striped tray.  

I couldn't find it on-line, but I can't wait to break it out while having friends over to watch 

The Kentucky Wildcats stomp all over the other team. GO BIG BLUE!!

I never even stepped foot in an Ikea until about two years ago.  

I have never purchased any type of furniture or lighting there, 

so I can't quite vouch for that, but as far as everything else goes, I am a huge fan.

How about you, are you an Ikea fan or foe?  

On a separate note, my aunt, Suzan, is in the hospital and will be having some surgery today and I am hoping you could all say a little prayer for her.  If there is one thing I believe in, it's the power of prayer!
