So this weekend was no different and we headed to our local (not quite local at 40 minutes away..) with the intention of getting a new office chair, a plant pot for an orchid which has been sitting in a bowl since i bought it from Sainsbury's a few weeks ago and some kind of storage device for the iron and ironing board to go on (as part of project sort out the cupboard under the stairs)
And this is what we came back with:
From left to right:
- A new plant and pot for the halway (i'm starting to get a bit plant-crazy)
- A thingy which holds your iron and ironing board on the wall/back of a door
- A packet of strange foreign biscuits i couldn't resist at the checkout for 50p
- An assortment of white frames for a project I'm planning
- Plant pot for currently orphaned orchid
- A pack of 5 different prints which may have something to do with project mentioned in point 4.

That book i am holding is my "house book" i have 2 the same one for the house and one for the wedding. It has all notes about the house like measurements of rooms and windows, lists of nice things I've seen/want, websites etc. I always take it with me to Ikea to make notes along with my tape measure!

I love Ikea mainly because it's cheap and has some really good inspiration. But don't get me wrong I don't want the whole house to become an Ikea showroom- we have already set the ground rule that nothing in the living room will be from Ikea! We like to mix Ikea furniture and accessories up with second hand pieces from car boot sales, charity and vintage shops.
Oh and of course you cant go to Ikea without having a cheeky plate of Swedish meatballs in the cafe!
