five things Friday: Ikea finds edition

I'm planning a quick trip to Ikea next week to get the butcher block counter tops for our kitchen update, so I went to their website to check on the stock levels... and got hopelessly distracted by a bunch of other great stuff. Five things that caught my eye (whether I have any need of them or not!):

Ikea finds

1. this dotted lampshade is so fun and bold | 2. this colorful bin is almost too cute for trash | 3. I'm a sucker for any organizers; I have these boxes in white already, but I love them in natural too | 4. I love the trim on this blanket | 5. fun color and a cool organizer all in one? I need to find a place for this cart in my life!

Getting sidetracked by inexpensive colorful things is one thing online - now to see if I can make it through the store with just the counter tops and a couple of picture frames (always a must-buy when I'm there).

Have a good weekend, all!

  1. I have only been to IKEA once (terrible, I know!), but in my defense the closest one is almost two hours away. I need to go back soon - these items are adorable! Have a great weekend!

  2. I feel so validated that I own the can (we use two for recycling) and the boxes! I would own the kitchen cart, but it's been sold out at our Ikea for months.
