IKEA

Sadly, I do not visit Ikea as often as I would like.  I took a friend there on Sunday as she is moving from a furnished apartment to an unfurnished apartment and needed to stock up on almost everything.  Obviously I took the opportunity to pick up some things since I was there anyway.  I also took the opportunity to gorge on Sewdish meatballs and almond cakes.  I also bookmarked some things I need to purchase when we have a bigger apartment/house.

NEED a sewing machine.  Maybe not this one - it looks like a toy

Pull out shelving with clear jars!!

I need this bin!  Not to be a bin but to be a toilet paper holder (I buy TP in bulk because I'm lazy but then have nowhere to put spare rolls)

 Lunch time!  I resisted the urge to get a 75c cinnamon scroll because I had already loaded my plate with Swedish meatballs, salt and pepper squid, and an almond cake with chocolate butterscotch!

Was VERY restrained and only purchased the following (we NEEDED everything except the thermos).

Ikea's $1.95 breakkie

Pretty light fixture at the entrance of Ikea

The normal price is $2.95 so it's already cheap as chips.  But on Wednesdays their breakkie is $1.95.  Awesome.  I was so excited I started attacking it as soon as I sat down and forgot to take a pic til I'd eaten half a hash brown:

Not amazing but great value for a measly dollar ninety-five.

While I was at Ikea I decided to have a look around

Too many different colours and clashing prints for my liking

Inspiration for Christmas place settings

I definitely want a red splashback in my kitchen

Love the floating shelves but they're too impractical

LOVE this outdoor patio ensemble
