Ikea. I know this store is not for everyone, but for me, I was in total Swedish Mod heaven. Between the names of designer I couldn't pronounce and the $1.99 breakfast....what's not to love?
(IKEA , Ingvar Kamprad, Founder, Elmtaryd, Farm where Ingvar grew up, Agunnaryd, Ingvar's home parrish in Sweden)
This was the first time I have ever been to Ikea. I have drooled over their website for years (why do they not sell more online?), so when I was in Texas this past weekend, my MIL and I made a mad dash to Ikea.
We got there right when they opened, I walked in slowly just to make sure I didn't miss anything. Even on the escalator on the way up, I was humming the theme song to Superman, it's the only theme song I could think of at the time, though somehow appropriate. Maybe cause I'm a super shopper.
I was especially interest in the, well you can probably guess, dinnerware, linens, and lighting. Prior to going, I made a list (from the website) of what I wanted to look at and I went home with several pillow covers and a throw. Love all this color! 
Stacked out warehouse style, they don't do much merchandising on the Marketplace floor, but they do a little more on the Showroom floor.

Look at all the colorful bath towels and so affordable.
I loved all the colorful glass vases and the fun shapes.
I had no idea Ikea had a floral department, lots of containers and vases. They have live plants as well.
On the Showroom floor is where the furniture is displayed. Fun loungers, look at that fun donut stool.
I wish we had had room in the car for a couple of these....59.99 is the affordable price tag and I know the kids would love these!
Barrel chair and bucket seats, I really liked the little cowhide stool.
Wish we had had room for one of these too.
I didn't spend much time in the kitchen design area, but I did like these bar stools.
I like these parsons chairs, cute fabric.
Groovy office chair!!
The next time I am close to an Ikea, I am definitely going again (with a trailer!)
I'll show you everything I bought later!
So how about you, do you heart Ikea or no?
