I ♥ Ikea

Oh, how I miss Ikea. I absolutely love Ikea. I love how affordable their stuff is (very important for a poor graduate student like myself). And I always get so inspired just walking around the store. Since moving from my hometown, Ikea is sadly no longer a 10 minute drive from my house. I haven't been to Ikea since, well, before I moved! It's been way too long.

And now Ikea is coming out with fun, new spring/summer items with bright, fantastic colors, and Ireallywanttogo. Now.

Here are some of my favorite picks!

GRÖNSKA Cushion

$9.99

I LOVE these! They're so bright and fun and colorful! The perfect pop of color.

SOLVINDEN Solar-powered Lighting

$9.99

I think that is SO fantastic that these are solar-powered! How awesome is that? Ikea has a lot of new outdoor lighting, and it's all solar powered. That's pretty awesome.

ROXÖ Stool

$9.99

Aren't these stools so cute? And you can't beat that price. Gotta love Ikea.

SKYN Serving bowl

$9.99

I love the shape of this serving bowl.

GODIS MIX Glass

$6.99 / 6 pack

One word -- ADORABLE.

GRÖNSKA BLOM Fabric

$3.99/yd

This pattern is so pretty! I want to make pillows now. Or curtains.

TRIPP Storage tin with lid

Set of 3 $5.99

Love these tins. Storage can be cute and pretty!

LÄCKÖ Chair

$29.99

This chair is so cute. I want it. But first I need a patio for it. Sigh.

RAST 3 drawer chest

$29.99

Okay, so this isn't new, nor is it very pretty. However, imagine the possibilities with this piece! With its unfinished wood and simple structure, you could customize the heck out of it! Paint it, stencil it, add new funky knobs! And for only $29.99 (!!!), this piece is a steal. Just add a little creativity and some elbow grease, and you could have a masterpiece!

DRÖMMAR Pastry cutter

Set of 6 $3.99

These aren't new either, but I had to add them. I really love the hedgehog cookie cutter.

So, if you're anywhere near to an Ikea, go! Now! Please! I must live vicariously through others until I find a way to get to my Ikea (being car-less now puts me at a disadvantage here. Sigh).
