If you ask me I can go there every week but like in your case, the closest Ikea is almost 4-5 hours from our place :(<br /><br />The chair looks beautiful. The pictures were fun to look at. You both rock as a couple!<br /><br />We have a link-up party going on - Tea Time Thursdays @ Kreative Korner. I would really appreciate if you'd link up some of your awesome posts there. Hope to see you at the party.<br /><br />http://tanyaanurag.blogspot.com/2011/08/tea-time-thursdays-4.htmlTanya Anuraghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18202698268407882316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871554777427103509.post-84970885723930114372011-08-26T11:57:19.462-04:002011-08-26T11:57:19.462-04:00This post cracks me up and I was lost for hours in...This post cracks me up and I was lost for hours in Ikea. I swear some of their signs say Exit, but they lie and it's all part of their big scheme.

There are still IKEA virgins out there in blogland?" ♥ me some catalog perusing the past week. <br /><br />In fact, my sis is excited 'cause the place she'll be moving to (on the opposite side of the globe) next week has a store near her city. She's planning on living the loft bed/office lifestyle when she gets settled.

I'd never heard of Ikea before I got the interview, and I ended up working there as a seamstress to get the store ready for the grand opening. I love that place now. We've actually had to drive home with things sticking out of the trunk, and we only live 15 minutes away...so the magic never dies, I think is what I'm getting at. :)mysticgypsy128https://www.blogger.com/profile/15537221302014097226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871554777427103509.post-53440811513039638752011-08-23T13:56:53.030-04:002011-08-23T13:56:53.030-04:00Haha you guys are so cute!

I'm pretty sure my boyfriend regrets ever allowing me in that store! Our location is three hours away, so on out of town trips it is always a must! He even threaten me days before, "If you don't make me a sandwich we are not going to Ikea." Ha!

When we bought our kitchen, I had to stay at IKEA and wait for my brother-in-law to come pick me up because the hubby filled the car to the brim and I didn't fit. <br />I love the chair and Gingerbread.
