IKEA

Tres Chic......

Oh, I love Ikea. We have one here in the Chicago 'burbs. It's a funn place just to walk around in even if you don't buy anything. Ikea is listed in our Chicago sighseeing guides as a "must see." I wouldn't put it up there with the Art Institure, but still funn!

I just loved it! Didn't even see it all. Gotta go back. I haven't broken the news to mr. dd that I'm remodeling the master bath and using their modular pieces instead of traditional cabinetry. :shock: (well, that's my plan anyway);-)

...you should have just spent the night in your car last night! Man, two trips to Oklahoma in less than 24 hours! I haven't been yet, but many people rave about it. DId you get those Swedish meatballs?

I live oh so very close to that store. It has been open for nearly a year and I have yet to set foot in there. I equate it to Nordstrom with their shoes - can't walk past something without buying it!

I know! Who woulda thought I'd be right back in the same spot in about 12 hours!! Ikea is great! Can't say enough! Maybe we can go when you return. No swedish meatballs for me today, but I'm game if you are!

Hey Miss Kitty, I used to the take my kids to the one in Baltimore when they were little and now they take their kids to the new one in Atlanta!!!! The meatballs are wonderful! Loved you as Mother Teresa! I just wish the nuns at my schools were sooooo funn! Finally met Smiling Joe tonight at Ceruleans. The pizza next door was great and so was the music at Ceruleans. Good changes for Watercolor. Looking forward to seeing you in October?

NO. that table and chairs cost about 10X as much as anything at IKEA. which is why its not in my dining room right this minute. Let me see... dining room table and chairs or Boston trip? still thinking on it...

Tootsie; they actually serve swedish meatballs, swedish coffee, cinnamon rolls (saw those, closed my eyes) in their cafe. I'm tellin' ya--it's a wonderful place! A virtual fairytale land for grown ups!
