Our trip last week

Last week before the total madness hit our home, Jason and I traveled with another couple to one of our most favorite places in the world. You may be thinking Hawaii, the beach, the mountains, but you would be mistaken. While I love those places, they really are not an overnight trip!

We went to Ikea.

I don’t know if I can fully express how my first experience to this haven of home decorating changed my perspective on space and how much you need, cheap furniture and cute accessories! If you have not been to one, trust me, it is worth the trip! The closest one to us is in Atlanta, but can we say Road Trip!!

We have bought a lot at Ikea in our 4 trips there. In the last year.

We decorated a great deal of Bradley’s room with things from Ikea. We painted the crib and my granny’s china hutch black for his room, so we bought a changing table, chair, rug and curtains for his room on one trip. We also got Emery 2 tall bookshelves with doors and a dresser on the same trip. We spent a whopping $400 bucks.
That first night we arrived, we walked around their showroom with our jaws dropped. The next day we actually bought some things.

This trip we went to buy couches and chairs for our church. I needed some new dishes, skillets and casserole dishes. I was successful on that end. But, they were out of stock in the cute red dresser I wanted for Bradley’s room, a sidetable for our dining room and a chandelier for our bedroom. This definitely was our most disappointing trip, yet. But, we did get some cool things for the church at an amazing price.

I am still a faithful Ikea fan, though!
