Who wants to join me on my semi- annual IKEA run? Let's see what we can find, I'm always on the hunt for the elegant, vintage pieces that surprise me in IKEA. Let me know in the comments below which ones are your very favorites!!
I've never been to an IKEA. Thanks for the tour! 😆 Thrift stores aren't as cheap as they used to be. Was at Goodwill the other day and I saw a glass dome for a cake plate like the one you were looking at. It was $10 just for the dome! A white cake plate was about $9, so IKEA is still a good deal. At least it's a matching set!
Thanks for the tour Sarah. I'm planning on taking a trip down to the city next week and Ikea is definitely going to be one of my stops. I do own that small shoe cupboard that you were showing. It sits in my front entrance. I repainted it to match my taste and added a larger piece of wood on top so I can display seasonal decor. It's a great space saver.
I used to love IKEA because their prices were so good. I lost an ektorp couch in my divorce and went to order another. They were 399 but out of stock. Then all of a sudden they discontinued it and replaced it with the upland which has gone up to 800! All of their prices are becoming so high.
So true. I have two linen Erktops, one is a sofa bed, and they discontinued everything to sell way more expensive similar furnitures. It is very sad that they do not continue the basics as they did at the beginning of their journey. I can't even change the cover now, which I regularly did for the Erktop Ottoman. It is indeed becoming so pricy now...
I think the ektirp was better quality - certainly as far as the upholstery material goes. The ektirp was sized right, priced right, better material and washable colors. I wish they’d bring it back. Especially the white. I had to say goodbye to my old sofa, but already knew what I wanted. After carrying it for so many years, no ektorp😭
I can't believe that you are in an Ikea! I love that you repurpose things! Just saying. But to love Ikea too, awesome! I knew that you were my favorite and now you sealed it! Thank you!
I've really liked the Ikea tour. Even more when you chose the pieces I love. I've gifted my daughter for her birthday the ikea desk and it is so beautiful..what is hard is to find a chair that suits her and does not hide its beautiful lines. Kisses and hugs from Spain
Love love love those green printed plates!! 😍 Green is my accent color in my home. I see an upcoming Ikea trip to my closest store in Philadelphia soon!!
Thanks for the tour Sarah💕 And for linking the wayfair bed- I’m in the market for one and that one is perfect! Also I absolutely love your white coat!!
Thanks for the shopping trip to IKEA. Random question here…. Please tell me what shoes are you wearing? Super cute. They look comfy. Thanks! Love your channel. ❤
I have been to IKEA a few times but I usually get so overwhelmed that I end up leaving with maybe a new plant. I loved this tour with you, it gave me so many ideas. I really loved the Farlov sofa. I wonder how comfortable it is.
I love Ikea, it is like I am Alice in wonderland ! I do not necessary like everything, but the way they set up the "apartments", is amazing. The displays are however very different from place to place, and it is stunning to see that other countries have very different products either ! There are always tons of little (or bigger) things we want to buy ! Thank you for the trip.
I really enjoyed this video and the timing is perfect. We are finishing our basement and looking for affordable furniture options. They all have to come in pieces because the door to our basement is only 29" wide.🤣P.S. I love your shoes!
I live in Idaho and the closest IKEA is 5 hours away in Salt Lake 😩 I try to beg my husband to take a trip so we can go and he says ABSOLUTELY NOT 😂 he’s not a fan of the store. Ive managed to convince him to go twice whenever we happen to be there.
So glad that IKEA doesn't play obnoxiously loud POP music in their stores here in The Netherlands🇳🇱... It would make me run straight out of there 👋🏻😅. But I'm really envious of the items they seem to be selling in the 🇺🇸 IKEA. Sadly IKEA sell really different items in other countries, as to cater to those particular markets. 😔
Those velvet drapery panels. So.....we don't have ikea in my country, how do I procure these? I've looked on the site but no drapery at all. Anyone any suggestions? TIA
I went to IKEA once. With 2 small children and my husband. And maybe an infant... 😆 I just walked. I followed the arrows and we walked in and walked and walked and then walked out and I felt like my entire system was on overload for days. 🤣 I remember only vague things from the trip. 😆. Maybe I should go alone. 🤔
That person sneezing loudly grossed me right out. If they're sneezing that loudly, they're clearly not covering their nose/mouth - just spraying their fluids all over everything that people are buying/touching 😷 I CAN'T

Love it! Rabbit...Squirrel! We all get distracted.
This is the best Ikea tour I've ever seen! You really know what to look for.
Wow, thank you!

My daughter has the shoe cabinet. She painted it dusty pink and added bronze drawer pulls. It looks amazing!
Oh my goodness! It sounds absolutely gorgeous!!!
It was fun seeing IKEA through your eyes! Those sneezes were intense! 😂
I love the checkerboard floor! My favorite!

I made raspberry punch for Christmas and my daughter’s baby shower ! I have a vintage thrifted milk glass footed punch bowl too!🤗

True, same over here in Scandinavia. I waited several months for pax wardrobe, and the prices is not so nice as they were.

I own Ektorp chair and ottoman and was going to purchase new covers, so disappointed.
We shouldn’t be shopping at stores that support communist countries that enslave their people… if we keep buying… they will never be set free

I love IKEA! Thanks for the video. You always inspire us all!

Those BIG sneezes 🤣 I wish the Ikea closest to me had this much. It's an hour and a half away and last week they had maybe 1/3 as much as yours 😭
I bought some of the green William morris knock off duvets to use as drapery. So gorgeous
That's a great idea! I'm sure it looks wonderful.😊
I NEED to go shopping at IKEA 😎 wearing my trench coat 😉
We have that black and white bathroom tile in our Victorian entryway and I do love it!
Love love love those green printed plates!! 😍 Green is my accent color in my home. I see an upcoming Ikea trip to my closest store in Philadelphia soon!!
Yay! Enjoy! They really were lovely!
I wish we had an IKEA where I live. I too love their setups. Thank you for the store tour also.
I always learn so much from you, Sarah! Thank you for sharing your passion and expertise with us. ❤
You are so welcome!
The tea cart is super cute!✨👌🏻
Wow, such a great insider tip on the wall color/ flooring info!! Thanks for sharing
That is such a great tip; good sleuthing!
There are definitely different displays at different stores. I just went to the Atlanta store last week, and they had different displays.
Loved seeing all the new things at Ikea. May I ask where you got your shoes? Love them.
They're Dansko clogs! This link is some that are very similar: rstyle.me/+ACIL7eYDJn_XiZeNFhKoEw

We've had ours for years and have loved it!
It’s easy to get overwhelmed in ikea. I often have to calm myself because the design can make me feel trapped and panicky.
I tried to see if there was anything I'd like but I didn't like anything except the velvet curtain.. thanks for taking us out today🙏
That's my Ikea too! Now that I went along with you here, I probably don't need to go, but then again.....

Oof! Skinny doors do add a layer of complexity, don't they! Glad this video might help!
thanks for the IKEA tour.
Sarah would you recommend IKEA SOFAS ?
The Farlov is the one I have the most experience with! We've had ours for years and love it still.
Enjoyed.

I enjoyed the field trip!
I laughed so hard at the sneezing!
😢 I can’t find those Sage curtains anywhere
With the trench coat and camera you look like a spy. 😂
Bahaha, that’s hilarious!!
Sometime try a nice low instrumental background music with voiceover commentary since the ambient noise is annoying. Just a suggestion.
💜💜💜
Uggh, I totally agree! That’s a great idea, thank you.❤
Those velvet drapery panels. So.....we don't have ikea in my country, how do I procure these? I've looked on the site but no drapery at all. Anyone any suggestions? TIA
I’m sorry, Suzi! Sometimes I can find the items on Amazon, Ebay or Poshmark!

Yes, that would do me in, too. No kids would help.😂😂
@@SheHoldsDearly I would love to go with someone who shops there frequently, can do kind of a consult ahead of time and can guide me through.
I use a punch bowl ever year at Christmas.
Buy American
My Ikea doesn't play music.
Very sad for those who loved her. God bless all. Beautiful music.
!!!!!!!!!!!!
