After spending countless years scouring the many aisles of IKEA from coast-to-coast decorating my college dorm rooms and apartments, when I got a little older and a bit more money in my bank account I graduated to shopping at places like Crate and Barrel and Pier 1 Imports. I basically divorced the store I once lovingly referred to as my décor match made in heaven and I went on about my decorating business putting that big blue and yellow sign in my rear view mirror. Then The Man and I decided we were going to makeover our apartment room-by-room keeping to a tight budget and therefore I had to once again find fabulous décor steals.

And so I swallowed my pride and went back to my old lover, IKEA, and I’m actually really glad I did. It turns out I’d turned my back on it for no good reason at all – the aisles were filled with stylish find for our home that would cost us a third of what we’d become accustomed to paying for décor. IKEA, what was I ever thinking leaving you? Still friends? Yesterday I was so inspired by the things I found I woke up this morning and just had to share.
