A year and a half ago, Chloe was given the promise of a new, bigger bed for her 7th birthday. It was finally time to fulfill that promise which meant a long overdue trip to IKEA. Instead of leaving with one bed, I left with three – but that is part of the beauty of a shopping trip to this amazing store. In case you haven’t been in awhile, here are 5 reasons to make the trip again soon.
IT’S A QUICK ROAD TRIP AND TIME IN THE CAR WITH SOMEONE YOU REALLY LIKE
We stopped for smoothies, listened to music, talked and I listened to a podcast while Hilary napped on the way home.
TO GET INSPIRED!
If you have ever wondered around the IKEA showrooms with kids, you will know they want everything they see because the stylists do such a good job of staging each display. I always love their closets and kitchens.
THE MARKETPLACE
Go for a package of tea lights and leave with 20 amazing products you never knew you needed but you will love. The marketplace is full of awesome stuff!!!
IKEA RESTAURANT
I get the sweedish meatballs every time. Everyone loves something from this cafeteria. It is the perfect way to end your shopping trip. I always load the car with my purchases before heading for food. It’s more relaxing that way.
A ROOM MAKEOVER WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK
I love how much impact a few new pieces can have. This is Chloe’s new bed and the duvet set she picked out (I am clearly not on team irons bed sheets). Her desk and chair were from a previous trip to IKEA.

Hey Lori, I hope you are having a great summer.
I was also at Ikea on Thursday. I am trying to find bedding we have grey walls and dark grey carpet in our room. I have the white ikea dressers and bedside tables and our headboard is grey material. I ended up buying the Alvine Kivist duvet set at ikea but I am second guessing myself and I know you have great Home fashion sense. I also bought some aqua coloured pillows.
I am concerned that I have too much grey. Nothing has been opened. Any suggestions.lol Maybe not the post you were looking for. Sorry
I love it! Let’s get together and I will try an impart the wisdom from everyone who has helped me!
The cat pic is adorable!
I ordered it from Society6.com.
Hmmm… I knew I nodded off but a full on nap??? I guess I do I realize I missed the middle of the podcast Lol!
I felt like it showed how much you trust my driving.
