This post is for all of my fellow IKEA lovers out there, and for those of you, Gwen, who don't yet know that you are IKEA lovers, but you are:
I just went to IKEA in Utah and loved it! It had been 6 years since I had been to an IKEA and it has only gotten better. So, first and foremost, the best thing about IKEA is that it is relatively, extremely cheap! YEAH! Second thing, it is a home decorating store, 4 times the size of Costco. How do you not love that? My only complaint would have been that IKEA's furniture tended to go a more modern direction that I would like, however, they have evolved over the last 6 years, and while they still have all of their contemporary/modern pieces, they actually have some very "country"-esk furniture. And for you Pottery Barn lovers, some of the styles look awfully Pottery Barn, and I should know, I have all of PB's catalogs memorized!
I even got Brandon to admit that, as cool as Cabela's is (in his mind) Ikea is cooler! YEA!! We just can't wait until we have a house so we can spend all of our money at Ikea filling it up! Fun times. If you're in Draper anytime soon, stop in at IKEA. My only advice, it is probably better to go Mon-Thurs before 5 and bring good walking shoes as it is a good 4 miles + if you walk the whole store.
Watch out Brittany! This sounds like a bankruptcy in the making! Just kidding. I've never heard of IKEA before, but I went to their web site, and there are quite a few things that I wouldn't mind decorating with. (I'm sure that the actual store is much better though.) I love modern, and I'm loving their lighting products...my house does not have enough lights...
