we went to ikea late in the afternoon to buy some transparent boxes for some of my (very old student books) stuff to be put in the loft.
we love ikea for storage boxes. (and their hotdog and donut,LOL).
vanity. mirror. shot.
lovely textile print.
drinks (at their resto)..we had the cheapest snack in the world. £1.80 for a hotdog in a bun, a refillable drink and french fries..and £0.90 for a pair of their cinammonny donut (one of my fave donuts,yeahahaha)..
it is...;-) (they let kids jump up and down the display beds, they let you sit on the furnitures and try it on,and let you touch textiles,rugs, etc..you can easily lose hours and hours being in this place).
and yeah, my family loves it too.

do you love ikea,too?
PS. IMHO, ikea is a great place for storage, cupboards ,chest of drawers and bookshelves, but i find their furniture quite flimsy (and low weightbearing). adrian and i tend NOT to buy furnitures (couch and beds) from them because being the heavy weights that we are, we might end up on the floor ;-)
we bought our furnitures from specialist shops which specialize in heavy wearing, long-lasting furniture, LOL.

makasapot kay walay ikea sa auckland. grrrr. =) di pa ko ka relate. hehehe
oh i love going to ikea too! it's so much fun! =) vito loves their playground and we all love the restaurant!
but yes, i think their furniture is much too flimsy. so we don't buy chairs/couches or beds from them. in fact, a few years ago i was reading a book and one of the characters was being berated for buying "psedo-furniture" from ikea. heheheh. i do love their storage solutions though! =)
Ikea furnitures are ideal for students. They are cheap and made to be tossed out in a couple of years. What I like in their restaurant are the hotdogs for a dollar and the Swedish meatballs.

so true patricia..;-)
i think their children's furnitures are ok, but not the adult ones..and maybe the daybeds...those that are not used for day-to-day...im glad someone agrees with me;-) LOL, funny, pseudo-furniture..
and yayyy, the kids really do have fun there..and even adults..i just love their ideas about making the most of a small space..and i love scandinavian design;-) so that alone being there, is such an inspiration;-)

true,Ate Lou...some friends who work in the hospital who are renting for a few months, tend to buy furnitures there coz they will leave the furnitures once they leave..its not long-wearing..and hurray to ikea hotdogs;-) love them too;-)
OK--I can't help it, I'm just going to say--"I WANT YOUR BAG!" I love your bags, Chel! You have good choice. I think you and I, magkasinabot sa bags.

I have a few designer bags, Chel, but most are cheap ra sad. I get most of them from Outlet and online stores, kung mag-sale ra sad. Hehe. I have a weakness for shoes too. Haayy...I know dili kinahanglan, pero unsaon nalang--they make us happy man uy! :-)
