I guess I have some 'splaining to do.
I received a couple of emails about my last post with pictures of the nursing home. I am really sorry if I offended anyone. I realize they were harsh and hard to look at. Let me explain that this is a small place and these residents need full time care. Both of my parents died fairly young and while I have missed them badly over the years.....I did not have to watch them get to this level.
I guess my point was that the end of life is no joke and not something I look forward to. In my opinion the only thing that makes a hard situation easier is humor. I am the kind of person who can't help snickering when it's inappropriate because of nervousness. I was not making fun of them.

Ikea.....for some people it is totally overwhelming but if you go enough you can learn to focus!
I had to go yesterday for some Ribba frames [the best] and took a few shots of things that puts the term "high/low" to work!
Here is one of the first new things I saw!
Without open shelves all of these cute things would go to waste! I plan on using them in an open pantry for a project.
I think both of these shelving units are new and I have a plan for the first one.
These 2 cute benches....kind of modern country.
Cute yellow clock
Black and white runner [placemats also]
Some kitchen accessories I have used from Ikea....the dark gray pitchers and jars!
The basket on the top left with jars from Ikea
I love these dark gray plates.....
And it was Ikea who first introduced us to the "Z" plant!

Some bedding...
I used to have this one in my own bedroom!
And I used all this bedding from Ikea at my Madison project! And the curtains also came from Ikea.
A few other ones I like.....
Fabrics
Remember when I used this one for my sister?
This black and white coverlet....
That became a table skirt at my sisters.
And this stripe duvet at my other sisters:)
This Ikea pillow can be found everywhere! It's a fav and I used it in a Boulder project.
Love these pendants and they now come in 3 sizes!
Here I used them at my sisters.
The Ikea black and white stripe throw is a keeper
This one might be new and surprisingly it had a nice weight.
Sometimes it is like just holding a few treads in your hand right?
The rug in the middle would make a nice wall hanging.....
And this rug.....
I love this new version!
This one is iconic also!
Some other new additions!
Some Ikea shelving that works nicely..... I recently used in a laundry room.
Cute faux plants!
These chairs below we used while staging some projects out in Boulder until one of the home buyers bought them!
I was tired of them anyway....ha ha
Ribba frames....
I didn't mean for this post to be so long.....but there is so much good stuff there!
Hope you get a bunch done this weekend.....it's pretty much gonna be rain....rain....rain around Atlanta.
How many times can you say Ikea in one post....how about 10.
