I have a love affair with IKEA. Much of our house looks like an IKEA show room. But most of all, I love love love IKEA picture frames. Inexpensive so I can buy a bunch all at once and do arrangements on the wall that look close to professional.

Tony and I were there today, and it was a test of our marriage and I am not even kidding one little bit. Online sounds very very smart.

I too read all the hype about Ikea. And like you I found reality did not live up to the hype.I waited a few weeks before venturing forth and was glad I did not stand in line for the privilege of parting with my money. Aside from “more” I did not see much difference-aisles are still clogged with people intent on a Swedish candlestick.This sounds snobby but I think we were in our “Ikea-years” 20 years ago. Low cost disposable furniture appealed to me when I was fresh out of university, now not so much.I will still shop at Ikea for consumables (ie napkins & cutting boards) but prefer to spend my furniture dollars on quality heirloom pieces that don’t require an Allen key

Funny how ikea has its place in most people-with-children’s homes…sometimes I simply go there to get inspired and then look to rearrange existing stuff, or purchase elsewhere, items that will get me to the functionality that ikea presents so well.
