I love IKEA

On Saturday we went to the IKEA store in Round Rock (just outside of Austin). I LOVE that place!!! It's kind of like a warehouse store for every type of home decor you can think of... every room of the house!

When you walk in, you have to take a pencil and a shopping list thing, because when you see something you like on display, you have to write down the bin number and aisle number for when you get to the warehouse. You follow these arrows on the floor as they wind you through the showroom where they have little living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, etc on display. It takes FOREVER to get through the place! When you are done going through the store, you end up in the warehouse. Seriously, it's like "Raiders of the Lost Ark" at the end, when they show that huge warehouse where the Ark ends up... You just go "oh. my. god."

We've bought a few things from IKEA, like our $24.99 coffee tables, and a storage/cubby thing for Jill's room. Honestly, you get what you pay for, and everything comes in a flat box totally unassembled, but for the price it is OK stuff, and when the sippy cup leaks on it or the cat jumps on it or whatever, I'm not going to have a heart failure like I would if it was a $200 coffee table! So.... I LOVE IKEA! YAY SWEDEN!
