I love those chairs.Thank you so much for sharing♡ My home was built in 1830. I've been working on it a little at a time for 6 years. My style is cottage with a little modern decor here & there. Love seeing people making their home theirs instead of following trends. I appreciate you taking time to share your finds for those that share the same taste & would like to incorporate something they see in your home into theirs♡
As a Swede that is raised with Ikea its so fun to see others discover ikea. It is really great and have everything. I can say that we have a lot of ikea stuff in our house 🙈💕
I am surprised she didn't know about ikea😅. It is a very common place here in states at least. I am getting a new apartment and a lot of my essentials/ decor items will be from ikea!
I have just discovered my new style. I love everything about the Cottage Style especially your color story! I am 70yrs old and on a fixed Budget but I am on my way to a comfy, cosey, crisp and clean home! Thank you for giving me such great information!❤
My husband is a technician and works at IKEA in Brest, Brittany (France). I want to decor our apartment in the cottage style so... thank you so much for the tips! Will definitely use these 🥰😍
Iam new to your channell and I have to say that I love your cottage home. I am wanting to states to.decorate my.home that way. Iam not sure how to go about it.But watching your videos really inspires me. I find you so sweet, and I love all your vídeos. Thank you for sharing them to all of un. God Bless you and your sweet family
Curtains, kitchen linens. Also look at their area rugs. Amazing prices. I got a huge beautiful sisal rug for $129 Canadian. Everyone always comments on it. It's a great place to pick up items to DIY as they're so affordable. Don't forget a cinnamon bun too!!!
That you for reinventing Ikea home decor for us. Although l am a FL transplant, MI is where my heart holds my fondest memories as it is my birth state and home for 31 years.
How I wish there was an IKEA Store in my State! LOL!!! I love everything that other ladies share in their homes from Ikea and the prices are incredible ! I watch Sarah Richardson and she takes us shopping with her for client’s home at IKEA... she is in Canada and I drool when I see everything!!! I have an addiction to glass Cloches! I use them in vignettes with picture frames under them, old wood industrial spools with vintage ribbon, figurines, covered books in pretty scrapbooking paper on them,. etc! At Christmas time I use my very large one from Potterybarn for my “ white Nativity Set “ under the glass. I love it! My daughter’s baby shower I used them as the centerpieces with vintage baby shoes , a string of pearls and in the shoes I placed pink rose buds . Then I placed a lambs ear wreath around the outside of the cloche... it was so pretty! So.... hence my addiction.... I have 8 just from the Baby Shower 💕. Each guest had a mini glass cloche with a “Welsh Tea Cake” inside... oh are they delicious! I could go on and on... I see glass cloches and my heartbeat speeds up! I love those pillow covers! I know many women get those and stencil on them or paint a scene! And the covers are always from IKEA because of the great quality! So... LONG STORY SHORT ( sorry for the huge comment) I don’t have anything from there. But I certainly wish I did! The dishes are beautiful also that you have! MAYBE it is good I don’t have one near me ? I so enjoy your videos and visits from Michigan to Central New York. ( my Pastor grew up in Michigan and his Father is a Pastor up there! ). God bless and have a great “Mother’s Day”.
Thank you Jayne!! You always leave the sweetest comments!! :) It means so much to me every time I see your kind words. Yes, you would love to shop at Ikea! And your cloches sound soooo pretty!! :)
Absolutely agree on the quality of their feather down cushions and pillows. I have these at home alongside the tea towels, faux florals and cloches. My favourate bedding set is one of their linen line, is oatmeal colour and so soft. Love their natural flat woven rugs, but hands down my most favourite are their fabrics, the quality is super 😊
Hi Andrea!I like IKEA Its been a while since I purchased from them but I think I will check them out again!I love your taste!I love your home and you!!Love your hair and makeup!!You are a joy to watch and listen to!Hope you enjoyed your holiday today!!😁🌹🦋🌼🇱🇷🐢🦆🐞
I've always liked what I see in IKEA ads or in RUclips videos, but I didn't realize they were so affordable! So pretty, thought pricey. Glad to hear they have some good deals. Love what you have - all of it. There is nothing in your home that I don't like. Lol. Thanks!
I have never been to IKEA, my husband is afraid to take me there because of all the wonderful things that I'll be able to find! But come with me I will be going as soon as things are lifted and they open I will visit with or without him. 🤗😃🤗😃🤗
Yep, I am a northerner who has lived in FL for 30 years, and 64 degrees is YOUR summer and OUR fall and winter. So funny. Use sunscreen to ward off later in life wrinkles, not to mention skin cancer; your complexion is so gorgeous so do protect it. I am 69 so I have NO IKEA in my home, but our daughter just moved to Montreal and she is buying some IKEA pieces for her new apartment. When we were starting out in the 1970s, our "IKEA" was unfinished furniture, usually pine. We still have a pine twin bed head and footboard, I work at a pine one drawer desk holding my computer, printer and keyboard, and so on. Much of our furniture is passed down in our family like cedar chests, or bought by us as we were able to afford it. Solid cherry and pecan, for example. It's not all white and cottage-y but I sure do love the look of your home. The north tends to have very gray days in fall, winter and spring, so mostly white adds some needed brightness to northern homes. One question: if you have children do you allow them to snack in your living room? Even with slipcovers you can wash, they can get spotted and dirty. I guess eventually you just get a new white cover.....in the olden days, housewives had white covers for upholstered furniture which they would put on for summer which must have been a nice change. Then in fall they would remove them for winter as they brought in the wicker from the porches and so on. They would transfer the outdoor wicker into their conservatories if they happened to have them. Nicer Victorian homes often did have a conservatory or at least a bump out for housing outdoor plants in winter....three-sided bays in a dining room, library or even LR were a strong feature of a Victorian home. Now I am going to go on the IKEA website to see those goosedown pillow inserts....I can remember my Mom in the 1950s actually opening up our goosedown bed pillows in spring and WASHING the feathers, probably mostly chicken feathers at the time. She would spread out the wet feathers between two large window screens to dry and then restuff the laundered pillow cases. I guess this was one way housewives back then would deep clean their homes after all the illnesses of winter -- measles, whooping cough, TB and all. I can't imagine being that meticulous. It was one reason why they used metal bead steads...they were easy to take apart every spring and scrub them with disinfectant, reassemble, etc. You had to be very particular about every nook and cranny where germs could lurk, b/c there weren't vaccines for these childhood diseases.
I’ve only been to IKEA once but we are planning a girls trip soon! I have the Ektorp couch and chairs in my basement living area. They are from probably 15 years ago and I still love them.!
My husband and I used to live near an IKEA back in the late 80's in N. VA, we never went, then we moved to AZ and we went and it seemed like an expensive furniture store but we must not have looked the whole store over! When we moved back to VA we still thought it was super expensive until I started hearing about it on RUclips. Fast forward to VA our nearest store is 2 hours away in Woodbridge so we never go there, well back in March right when the virus hit before the restrictions my sister and i went and Oh my stars we racked up. i got faux plants, kitchen food storage and cereal keeper because I had just done a pantry makeover, a light kit, recycle shopping bag etc, my sister got a beautiful cutting/charcuterie board and space bags. I have to go back this Summer! I really need some cloches and more faux plants and the live ones, and more pendant light kits. I love to make pendant lights out of unusual things. THE PRICES CAN'T BE BEAT!!!! We also got lunch- swedish meatballs for me!
Suggestion for small cloche, if you have cold butter but need it soft, put the wrapped stick of butter on a plate and cover with the cloche, the place in a bright window for several minutes or until the butter is at the softness you need.
Hi Andrea, Yes I see and hear so many people talking about IKEA. Its 3.5 hrs from my home in Nashville, Tennessee. One day, my sister and I are going to do a sister trip. I loved what you showed. I know I would go crazy if I had one close to me. Thanks for sharing all your pretties.
IKEA is one of my favorite places to shop. Either in the Bay Area or LA area in California!! One of my favorite things to buy are their currant jelly!! So sweet and tart! 😋. They just way to many jewels there. I could spend an entire day there. Looking forward to the next time we can go! Love all the beautiful items you picked up. Your house is sweet. Feels soft, gentle and cozy!❤️🤗🤗🤗. Thank you Andrea! 🙂
Love IKEA, have purchased boys beds, comforters, glasses, straws, boys desks, candles, pictures, hampers, flatware and dishes for college sons, etc. I spend at least 2 hours there, walking every department. Your home is so pretty and cozy!!!
Love Ikea ,we have one just a few miles from us. We recently purchased two of their 3.5 white slipcover sofas. Both my husband and I are tall and these were made for taller people ,the seat cushions are much thicker which I’m a huge fan of and the 3 cushions are deeper and wider. Very affordable price as well. Can’t say enough, I also love botanical prints and had several that I had purchased else where but, really needed to find affordable frames as the plan was to frame up 20 of the prints, I must say you can’t beat the price, I was very pleased. Thanks for sharing ..Take care and stay well...🌷🌷🌷
Wow, this video has indeed opened my eyes... Firstly, though I live in South East Asia, there are two big IKEA stores, both are within 30 minutes drive from my house 😅 that's why it's nothing unusual for some of us to visit Ikea weekly (that two IKEA stores nearby are adjacent to shopping malls, so you don't just go there for home decor). However, the items there are what I would say definitely not cheap nor affordable... To most Malaysians, IKEA means expensive. Cheers from Malaysia 🇲🇾🥰
IKEA is about l.5 hrs away from where I live and I love that store. I also love the choices you've made in things for your home and how you use them and/or display them. Your home is very peaceful looking.
You muse in the upper area of the lower pen, of Michigan. I am in “the middle of the mitten”. And it is about 1 1/2 hrs for me to get to Ikea. I am going in 2 weeks on my way to Ohio to see my sister. Love this post! Doing my decor in our home In. “Up North cottage style”. And guess hat, I am a 4th generation Floridian”. Have been in Michigan for 20 years !
You pointed out several of the items I shop for at Ikea to attempt a Nordic, minimalist look in my home. Ikea is great for any style of home for sure. I love their linen tea towels, pillow covers and also cotton area rugs. Oh, and baskets like you mentioned 😀 I recently spray painted some older brown baskets white and they look great! You have a beautiful home.
Hi Andrea, thank you for sharing your ikea finds. I admire your decor sense; you have good eye and good taste for things. I also enjoy watching your thrifting videos so would love vlogs on your unique thrifted pieces. Thank you so much..
the whole live I was living in big European cities so it's so "shocking" to hear someone just discovered it 😂 greetings from the other side of the ocean 🖤 and btw my husband is also German 🙌😁
Ich liebe Deine Videos..Du hast ein wunderschönes Zuhause 😊..Könnest Su nochmal ein Video mit Ikea Deko machen..Ich würde mich sehr freuen. Liebe Grüße aus Germany❤
I loved this video! I haven't never been to ikea.wow! I love everything u found.the pillows r so cute.i have to drive 3 hrs.to one I in Kansas city kansas.i think I might be making a trip.im so excited.i probably won't want t to leave.you have a blessed day.take care.
I love your style! I wanted you to know that I found you because I watch other videos about finding nice things from Ikea. So glad I found you. So fun!
I love IKEA and could spend days in that store. All of your finds are so beautiful and look just perfect in your home. Happy Mothers Day...hope your day is extra special
I have a couple Ikea chairs that you can change out the slipcovers on and have had them for years. They hold up incredibly well, and if they get stained, I throw them in the washer. They wash up well. If I want to change out the colors or the cat decides she wants to use the chairs as a scratching post, I can buy other covers. I believe Ikea's furniture is as good or better than what you'll find in high-end mall shops. Pottery Barn, for instance, makes an almost identical white slipcovered sofa as the $499 Ektorp from Ikea for $1,500! And the Ektorp in different colored slipcovers costs even less than that.
I bought a 365 chef knife at IKEA that is really awesome. I also love their $.79 kitchen towels. And of course you have to get the Swedish meatball and potatoes and lingonberry sauce meal when you’re there.
Love that place and could spend hours in there☺️I have some of their small plants also and some beautiful hydrangeas that look so real. Also have their couch with the chaise which I love with the matching chair the ektorp collection
Delma _Monk I'm Canadian. We pronounce it the same way the French do. Probably because it's origin is French? When I google it, it sounds the same. Perhaps you don't have google as a search engine. I can't think of another English word it would rhyme with. The 'o' is like the 'o' on 'cloak.'
Nearest IKEA to me is three hours away first time I went there we spent 3 1/2 hours just on the market floor didn’t even get time to go and look upstairs at the rooms and furniture 🤩 I bought plants, rolling pins, linen and clotchs we had a ball. my friend bought those carnations in pink blue and lilac and cut them down to make a beautiful topiary tree it looked amazing
Here in the uk am half an hour drive. 🙏 However do not know when our one will open again? The tip is to know what you need and write down the details . 👍
I just love that you found so much atvikea. Your home is just so beautiful. I just love it. My stylecis ventage, cottage.so I love a lot of what you have. I have lots of quilts in mine. Old and new.cant believe you found thoses chairs on ikea.beautiful
You just went with your mom on a memorial weekend I would have definitely gotten the bedstead the headboard and footboard or just the one that was the headboard for 15 the other ones for 30 you could always resell that those were beautiful you still might be able to get them love you
I was excited to see what you buy at Ikea and it seems we have very similar taste! Lol I have the down inserts, tons of pillow covers, the same bowls and dishes, the basket, the tea towels, slipcovered chair, sofas, and ottoman (*LOVE them and they aren't just for college age people!),drinking glasses, faux plants, a few frames, curtains, white pots, jute area rug, kitchen chairs..Not sure if there's more! They ship, so for folks who need it...try it!! Thanks for another great video💕
I love that we can add in a few pieces from "regular stores" to layered collections from over the years to create a unique ,cozy & beautiful home. I'm older but sure love your tips and aspire to fine tuning my home from many of your videos. So grateful I found your channel!
I’ve never been to Ikea! There is one in Dallas but I don’t even live in Texas. Lol. I love ❤️ your home and your cottage style too. You might already know but there is a Decor Steals, they have decor items that are pretty good prices and everything ships for $5.00. You might like some of the steals. Looking forward to your next video!😍
newly subscribed. I too love the cottage decor Ikea has. I am about 3-4 hours away to te Canton store we are up on Lake Huron side of MI. I have about 8 of the Billy Book cases with glass doors on them, the cloche you showed, and the square baskets. syrup pitchers, plants, and a host of other goodies. I have been an IKEA fan for many years.
When I lived in South Florida we had an Ikea in Ft Lauderdale and one in Miami, 10 minutes and 30 minutes from the house. Now that we've moved to South Carolina, it's a 2 hour drive to the closest one in North Carolina. I'm sad that I can't just stop in on my way home from work to decompress or pick up something pretty or cool. I live way out in the country now and have a friend/neighbor that has never been to IKEA. I'm planning to take her up there and watch her go crazy. BTW, in my current home, I've got 9 of the Billy bookcases that I have on the back and front walls of my studio/office. We put crown molding across the top, baseboard along the bottom and two inch furring strip between adjacent units so they look built in. In my craft room, formerly the dining room (but can be switched back for company) we took one of the narrow (Billy?) units and laid on it's back under the window, put a plywood top with hinges to make it a bench seat and then used a Billy wall unit on each side with crown and base molding, and now I have a" built in window seat". I bought a bunch of the Ikea pillow covers and inserts to use on the bench in lieu of making a solid padded foam bench top. (Does any of that make sense?) Long story short, I love that store! PS: I'm looking forward to going next time with a friend instead of my husband so I can take my time and explore.
We live in Grand Rapids & visit the Canton IKEA 😊 I love going & have purchased rugs, faux plants, pillows & metal shelving! Fun & worth the trip. Love your beautiful home! Stay well!😷🙏🙏🙏
TFS !!! Those Pillow's with the Tie's, Look much Better, with Wooden-Button's on them. There are Different Shade's of Wood to Choose from. A Cottage Style, for Sure. You could Remove the Tie's. The Tie's, would Get On My Last Nerve. 😊 Would Like to SEE a Tour of IKEA. We're in Vegas. We had one Close to us, year's ago, and then they Moved to the Other Side of Town.
Fun video! We love the ikea in Canton... it’s a longer drive for us than the one in Indy, but the MI store is larger and carries more product... my fave products are the curtains!
I've been to an IKEA like once....even tho there are like 3 maybe 4 around an hour from here. But I loved your great ideas. Will definitely keep an eye out for them
I love IKEA! Wish there was one close to me (closest one is in Atlanta about 5 hours away.) When I visit my parents in Illinois I try to go, as I do when I’m in Austin visiting my boys.
I've never been to Ikea. I think we only have one in the state lol. I laughed when you said you got a little pink from sitting outside when it was 64°. We did the same thing the other day lol. My daughter got burnt too. I wish it would just stay warm🌞😄. Loved the decor tips💖
I moved from a city where IKEA was 25 minutes away to a town where it’s now 90 minutes away 😩 I can definitely relate. You’ve got to be committed to go! Love your wall color behind you. I’m looking for a warm white. Would you mind telling me what color you used?
I love those chairs.Thank you so much for sharing♡ My home was built in 1830. I've been working on it a little at a time for 6 years. My style is cottage with a little modern decor here & there.

Please protect your beautiful skin. It’s so translucent! I love the sun too, but your skin texture is stunning

Don't forget a cinnamon bun too!!!
That you for reinventing Ikea home decor for us. Although l am a FL transplant, MI is where my heart holds my fondest memories as it is my birth state and home for 31 years.
Ohh how special! It's a beautiful state :) I actually went to college in FL! I missed MI so much though :)
How I wish there was an IKEA Store in my State! LOL!!! I love everything that other ladies share in their homes from Ikea and the prices are incredible ! I watch Sarah Richardson and she takes us shopping with her for client’s home at IKEA... she is in Canada and I drool when I see everything!!!
I have an addiction to glass Cloches! I use them in vignettes with picture frames under them, old wood industrial spools with vintage ribbon, figurines, covered books in pretty scrapbooking paper on them,. etc! At Christmas time I use my very large one from Potterybarn for my “ white Nativity Set “ under the glass. I love it! My daughter’s baby shower I used them as the centerpieces with vintage baby shoes , a string of pearls and in the shoes I placed pink rose buds . Then I placed a lambs ear wreath around the outside of the cloche... it was so pretty! So.... hence my addiction.... I have 8 just from the Baby Shower 💕. Each guest had a mini glass cloche with a “Welsh Tea Cake” inside... oh are they delicious! I could go on and on... I see glass cloches and my heartbeat speeds up!
I love those pillow covers! I know many women get those and stencil on them or paint a scene! And the covers are always from IKEA because of the great quality!
So... LONG STORY SHORT ( sorry for the huge comment) I don’t have anything from there. But I certainly wish I did! The dishes are beautiful also that you have! MAYBE it is good I don’t have one near me ?
I so enjoy your videos and visits from Michigan to Central New York. ( my Pastor grew up in Michigan and his Father is a Pastor up there! ). God bless and have a great “Mother’s Day”.
Jayne Brown You can shop IKEA online.
Thank you Jayne!! You always leave the sweetest comments!! :) It means so much to me every time I see your kind words. Yes, you would love to shop at Ikea! And your cloches sound soooo pretty!! :)
Absolutely agree on the quality of their feather down cushions and pillows. I have these at home alongside the tea towels, faux florals and cloches. My favourate bedding set is one of their linen line, is oatmeal colour and so soft. Love their natural flat woven rugs, but hands down my most favourite are their fabrics, the quality is super 😊
Loved this video today ❤
I haven't yet,but I loved what you show me,thanks.
Learned something I never knew, cloches are used for plants outdoors! Very cool!
Your bird print is the Blue-faced Honeyeater, native to Australia here. We see them flying around a lot.
Hi Andrea!I like IKEA Its been a while since I purchased from them but I think I will check them out again!I love your taste!I love your home and you!!Love your hair and makeup!!You are a joy to watch and listen to!Hope you enjoyed your holiday today!!😁🌹🦋🌼🇱🇷🐢🦆🐞
Thanks for this list. I get so overwhelmed at IKEA that I come away fairly empty-handed. Now I'll have a starting place!
Yay!! Yes, it's so wise to go in with a list because I get easily distracted haha!!
I've always liked what I see in IKEA ads or in RUclips videos, but I didn't realize they were so affordable! So pretty, thought pricey. Glad to hear they have some good deals. Love what you have - all of it. There is nothing in your home that I don't like. Lol. Thanks!

Its like Disneyland!! There is so much to see. Be sure to eat breakfast there also!!
Same here! Lucky for my husband, there is no IKEA close by.

Your house is so tastefully decorated. I am glad I found your channel as it is not usual to find cottage style channel 🌸

I’m a Michigander as well. The trip to Canton is an all day trip. Can’t wait until I can go there once again.
I love their Bed Linens…I have purchased two duvet sets from IKEA . They are such a great resource for storage as well 💙

You muse in the upper area of the lower pen, of Michigan. I am in “the middle of the mitten”. And it is about 1 1/2 hrs for me to get to Ikea. I am going in 2 weeks on my way to Ohio to see my sister. Love this post! Doing my decor in our home In. “Up North cottage style”. And guess hat, I am a 4th generation Floridian”. Have been in Michigan for 20 years !
You pointed out several of the items I shop for at Ikea to attempt a Nordic, minimalist look in my home. Ikea is great for any style of home for sure. I love their linen tea towels, pillow covers and also cotton area rugs. Oh, and baskets like you mentioned 😀 I recently spray painted some older brown baskets white and they look great! You have a beautiful home.
- So many great ideas from Ikea.Thank you so much for sharing and enjoy our beautiful spring weather this week. Blessings - Judith
Thank you so much Judith!! :)
Hi Andrea, thank you for sharing your ikea finds. I admire your decor sense; you have good eye and good taste for things. I also enjoy watching your thrifting videos so would love vlogs on your unique thrifted pieces. Thank you so much..
Thank you so much! I am always looking for more video ideas :)
I'm so glad your cousin said that because from California I was about to say the same thing too😂
the whole live I was living in big European cities so it's so "shocking" to hear someone just discovered it 😂 greetings from the other side of the ocean 🖤 and btw my husband is also German 🙌😁
I love your IKEA choices, and I LOVE your kitchen!
Love Ikea, I have the pillows and linens all over my home, thinking of getting one of the big comfy chairs 🤗🙏🏻💕. Great video 🤗
Thank you so much!! My chairs are so comfy!! :)
Ich liebe Deine Videos..Du hast ein wunderschönes Zuhause 😊..Könnest Su nochmal ein Video mit Ikea Deko machen..Ich würde mich sehr freuen. Liebe Grüße aus Germany❤
I loved this video! I haven't never been to ikea.wow! I love everything u found.the pillows r so cute.i have to drive 3 hrs.to one I in Kansas city kansas.i think I might be making a trip.im so excited.i probably won't want t to leave.you have a blessed day.take care.
I love your style! I wanted you to know that I found you because I watch other videos about finding nice things from Ikea. So glad I found you. So fun!
I love IKEA and could spend days in that store. All of your finds are so beautiful and look just perfect in your home. Happy Mothers Day...hope your day is extra special
Thank you so much sweet friend! :)
I like the sheer white curtains from IKEA that I have in the bedroom. I have a number of their faux plants and will look for the cloches next visit.
I need to get some curtains from there!! :)
I have a couple Ikea chairs that you can change out the slipcovers on and have had them for years. They hold up incredibly well, and if they get stained, I throw them in the washer. They wash up well. If I want to change out the colors or the cat decides she wants to use the chairs as a scratching post, I can buy other covers. I believe Ikea's furniture is as good or better than what you'll find in high-end mall shops. Pottery Barn, for instance, makes an almost identical white slipcovered sofa as the $499 Ektorp from Ikea for $1,500! And the Ektorp in different colored slipcovers costs even less than that.
Hi I love their linen curtains, 100 % linen and so cheap. As you said there is just so many bargains to be had x
Oh I will have to look at curtains! I need some!
I’ve recently found your channel and of course I subscribed! Love your style! Decorating my home is my passion!
Thank you so much Milli! That is so sweet! :)
Thanks for the good ideas from Ikea
Good video. I can’t wait to go shop there. Thanks!
I bought a 365 chef knife at IKEA that is really awesome. I also love their $.79 kitchen towels. And of course you have to get the Swedish meatball and potatoes and lingonberry sauce meal when you’re there.
I live in Michigan too. My closest IKEA is also 3 hours away. I really wish they would build one closer.
Love that place and could spend hours in there☺️I have some of their small plants also and some beautiful hydrangeas that look so real. Also have their couch with the chaise which I love with the matching chair the ektorp collection
Yes!! The greenery is amazing!! And we have the ektorp up in our bedroom! :)
I think your style is beautiful but it would be nice to look at items and then listen to you talk about them😚
The white chairs are no longer available. Its ok because we are accelerating our mortgage. We visit an Ikea in Houston when we travel to Texas.
Hello from Minnesota! Thanks for the tips! Love your home!
Thank you Dawn!! :)
I’m with you Andrea, I have purchased pillows/covers, quality bathroom towels, area rugs, lighting, and the list goes on. I great store to check out!
Yes it is!:)
I love Ikea too and have many of the same things as you x
Thank you for the delightful video! I can't wait to go back to Ikea.
The cloches....pronounced like GOSH we use to put over glass scented candles 🇬🇧
She pronounced it correctly. Rhymes with gauche.
Helena scribe sorry what is gauche? I’m English and we say Cloche, as is in Gosh, tosh, bosh.... 😂
Delma _Monk I'm Canadian. We pronounce it the same way the French do. Probably because it's origin is French? When I google it, it sounds the same. Perhaps you don't have google as a search engine. I can't think of another English word it would rhyme with. The 'o' is like the 'o' on 'cloak.'
I have the dish towels and love them.
Nearest IKEA to me is three hours away first time I went there we spent 3 1/2 hours just on the market floor didn’t even get time to go and look upstairs at the rooms and furniture 🤩 I bought plants, rolling pins, linen and clotchs we had a ball. my friend bought those carnations in pink blue and lilac and cut them down to make a beautiful topiary tree it looked amazing
Oh that sounds so pretty!! :)
Here in the uk am half an hour drive. 🙏 However do not know when our one will open again? The tip is to know what you need and write down the details . 👍
I just love that you found so much atvikea. Your home is just so beautiful. I just love it. My stylecis ventage, cottage.so I love a lot of what you have. I have lots of quilts in mine. Old and new.cant believe you found thoses chairs on ikea.beautiful
Aww thank you Ruth!! :)
You just went with your mom on a memorial weekend I would have definitely gotten the bedstead the headboard and footboard or just the one that was the headboard for 15 the other ones for 30 you could always resell that those were beautiful you still might be able to get them love you
Lovely. I’ve never been to Ikea yet.
I was excited to see what you buy at Ikea and it seems we have very similar taste! Lol I have the down inserts, tons of pillow covers, the same bowls and dishes, the basket, the tea towels, slipcovered chair, sofas, and ottoman (*LOVE them and they aren't just for college age people!),drinking glasses, faux plants, a few frames, curtains, white pots, jute area rug, kitchen chairs..Not sure if there's more! They ship, so for folks who need it...try it!! Thanks for another great video💕
Thank you so much Carolyn!! Sounds like we have similar taste! :)
💕
I love that we can add in a few pieces from "regular stores" to layered collections from over the years to create a unique ,cozy & beautiful home. I'm older but sure love your tips and aspire to fine tuning my home from many of your videos. So grateful I found your channel!
Can you please tell me what flower is on your coffee table?
I’ve never been to Ikea! There is one in Dallas but I don’t even live in Texas. Lol. I love ❤️ your home and your cottage style too. You might already know but there is a Decor Steals, they have decor items that are pretty good prices and everything ships for $5.00. You might like some of the steals. Looking forward to your next video!😍
Oh yes now that you say that I think I have heard of them! I will have to check it out! and thank you so much :)
You can shop online from Ikea for those of you with no Ikea stores in town.
Yes! Very true :)
newly subscribed. I too love the cottage decor Ikea has. I am about 3-4 hours away to te Canton store we are up on Lake Huron side of MI. I have about 8 of the Billy Book cases with glass doors on them, the cloche you showed, and the square baskets. syrup pitchers, plants, and a host of other goodies. I have been an IKEA fan for many years.
Could I ask where you got the light beside your bed, thank you
New subscriber here. Love your content. My in laws live in Union, Michigan...it can get warm for sure...but boy...does the cold like to linger there!
When I lived in South Florida we had an Ikea in Ft Lauderdale and one in Miami, 10 minutes and 30 minutes from the house. Now that we've moved to South Carolina, it's a 2 hour drive to the closest one in North Carolina. I'm sad that I can't just stop in on my way home from work to decompress or pick up something pretty or cool. I live way out in the country now and have a friend/neighbor that has never been to IKEA. I'm planning to take her up there and watch her go crazy. BTW, in my current home, I've got 9 of the Billy bookcases that I have on the back and front walls of my studio/office. We put crown molding across the top, baseboard along the bottom and two inch furring strip between adjacent units so they look built in. In my craft room, formerly the dining room (but can be switched back for company) we took one of the narrow (Billy?) units and laid on it's back under the window, put a plywood top with hinges to make it a bench seat and then used a Billy wall unit on each side with crown and base molding, and now I have a" built in window seat". I bought a bunch of the Ikea pillow covers and inserts to use on the bench in lieu of making a solid padded foam bench top. (Does any of that make sense?) Long story short, I love that store! PS: I'm looking forward to going next time with a friend instead of my husband so I can take my time and explore.
Love this video!
We live in Grand Rapids & visit the Canton IKEA 😊 I love going & have purchased rugs, faux plants, pillows & metal shelving! Fun & worth the trip. Love your beautiful home! Stay well!😷🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much Tammy! That's the one I have visited as well! :)
Show more of the decir.
TFS !!! Those Pillow's with the Tie's, Look much Better, with Wooden-Button's on them. There are Different Shade's of Wood to Choose from. A Cottage Style, for Sure. You could Remove the Tie's. The Tie's, would Get On My Last Nerve. 😊 Would Like to SEE a Tour of IKEA. We're in Vegas. We had one Close to us, year's ago, and then they Moved to the Other Side of Town.
Next time I go I will try to get some footage for sure!! :)
Fun video! We love the ikea in Canton... it’s a longer drive for us than the one in Indy, but the MI store is larger and carries more product... my fave products are the curtains!
Aww that's the same one I visit!! :) I need to get some curtains!
I've been to an IKEA like once....even tho there are like 3 maybe 4 around an hour from here. But I loved your great ideas. Will definitely keep an eye out for them
They are so much fun! :)
Love Ikea too but rarely go as it's over an hour away and Atlanta traffic is a nightmare.😁 The carnations really do look real!
I thought so too! :)
@@PineandProspectHome Happy Mother's Day💖🌹💐
Great video! I love the Elly towels. They are one of my favorite Ikea buys.
Aren't they great?? :) Thank you!!
Never been there. I am going to go as soon as we are not under lock down anymore!!!
You should!! I know you will love it!! :)
What kind of stain did U use on the shelfs in the dinning room? Love the warm color. Very beautiful house.
What color paint did you use on your walls?
Enjoyed this video a lot. I must plan a trip. It is about a 4 hr. drive from my home. Great deals and I liked them.
Yes you should! :) And thank you!! :)
I enjoyed this video very much! New sub. 💐
Ikea is in Canton MI, right? I think that's the only one we have here.
Love Ikea, it is such a dangerous store for me to shop at. Good thing I only go a couple times a year. Hehe. Great video!
I'm jealous! I live in SW USA no big cities, hence no IKEA 😕 I think my bank account would be in trouble if that store was close to my home...
You have a beautiful home and an eye for decorating. Your fo flowers are gorgeous. What product do you use to clean them?
I love IKEA! Wish there was one close to me (closest one is in Atlanta about 5 hours away.) When I visit my parents in Illinois I try to go, as I do when I’m in Austin visiting my boys.
Same! Although I would probably spend too much if it were closer haha!
Thanks for sharing. You have good taste.. I don't Have anything from IKEA . but I am going to check it out.. later Joyce
Thank you so much Joyce!! :)
I haven’t been to Ikea yet..but we just moved about 1hour or so away..as soon as some of the restrictions are lifted I’ll have to make plans.
Yay!! It'll be so much fun to visit! :)
I've never been to Ikea. I think we only have one in the state lol. I laughed when you said you got a little pink from sitting outside when it was 64°. We did the same thing the other day lol. My daughter got burnt too. I wish it would just stay warm🌞😄. Loved the decor tips💖
Hahaha it was so pretty for us!! So funny how different the weather is for every state. :)
Hi.
Where did you get the brass wall mounted lamp that is behind you from?
It's super cute
I moved from a city where IKEA was 25 minutes away to a town where it’s now 90 minutes away 😩 I can definitely relate. You’ve got to be committed to go! Love your wall color behind you. I’m looking for a warm white. Would you mind telling me what color you used?
Love your house although I would say this is farmhouse not cottage design. Still absolutely gorgeous:)
