Talk About Tuesday
Welcome to Talk About Tuesday! If you are new, check out the Guidelines before posting. Thanks for joining us!Speaking of bandwagons, we are now official Ikea groupies. I see and hear about a lot of Ikea on the web but we just got our own store last spring. We've been there a few times to be amazed by the vastness of it all and to see if, once we entered, we could find our way back out again. Let me just give you a word of warning if you've never been there before. Don't take children and use the bathroom before you get started because once you're in you're not coming back out again until you've seen it all. Not even if you wanted to.
Well, this time we weren't just window shopping. We actually came home with cabinets for our pantry.
I know!
This and now this? We'd better watch out or we are going to be seriously organized one of these days. The great thing about Ikea though is that everything fits through the door! They are amazingly good planners that way.

I don't know if you can tell but that is three carts full of boxes. Two in front and one behind on the left. At least all those boxes make me feel like we got our money's worth. Now if I could just get Stranger to stop running off to work so he can stay home and put the whole thing together for me. Why would anyone not be excited about that? I know I'm excited to watch and offer useless advice if he needs it. I'm nothing if not helpful.
What do you have to talk about this week?

We just happened to pick up a few boxes from there as well. Can't wait to see your pantry all uber-organized.
Wow, now that's my kind of shopping!! Great job, can't wait to see it done!
How fun! Can't wait to see your pantry all put together. :)
I love Ikea!! It's too far to go there often (which is probably a good thing for my bank account) but it is a really fun place just to look around.
Have you heard the song about Ikea? It's pretty funny. It's by Jonathan Coulton.

I've never been inside an IKEA, but I was a little confused by the catalog-it just looked a lot like Target style assemble-yourself furniture, but in a larger selection? Maybe I will have to check it out and see for myself (can't wait to see your pictures too!) because I'm not sure.
I love ikea, but I have only been shopping online. I can't wait to see pictures when it's all put together!
i'm still in love with your island!!
Oh I MISS Ikea. I used to live a little over an hour away from one and then there was one 45 min away but after moving I'm beyond (my) driving distance for shopping. Congrats on the new cabinets!
I love IKEA. I wish we had one much closer. Otherwise it's about a 2 hours drive. It's been a long time since I've been there. I can't wait to see your cabinets.
I've only been to Ikea once (it is 2 hours away). It was overwhelming to me. :)
Maybe I need to go back without kids.

Fun new cabinets, I wish I was near an Ikea.
Ok, you've convinced me to see if we have IKEA around here.
We are getting an IKEA about an hour away from us this spring and I am So Excited I can hardly stand it!
How are you coming along on your House To Do List??
This is my year to GET RID and get organized. Keep motivating!
I can't wait to see your new stuff all put together.
I LOVE IKEA. We have one about 30 minutes from us. I haven't been in a while and I think it's time for a fix. When we go, we usually eat breakfast and/or lunch there. That is one place even my girls like to shop.
We have been trying to get an IKEA here!! The closest one is I think a full days drive or more? I don't know, I've never been, but I might take up my friend's offer to go with her next time she goes! But really, I hate to travel that far just to go to a store!
good job. i love your theme. support your works.
thanks for all
