IKEA, UKEA, We All Scream For IKEA!

Posted by Becky  Published in Uncategorized

On the trip back from New York we decided to take a detour and stop at Ikea.  We didn’t have much time but we wanted to look for some ideas for the house.  We ran through the store and ended up picking up a new chair for the living room.  They didn’t actually have the cushion we wanted so I said I would head to the Ikea in MA.  Here of a few pictures of the other night, Ichiro and Noby put together Noby’s matching chair!

Noby was very interested in what Ichiro was doing.

Ichiro only showed him once and he started turning the screw!!! He’s so smart!

Even Domo wanted to help!

Domo loved it too!

Every Friday, during the summer, Brenda gets out of work at 1ish.  Today we headed to Ikea to look for the cushion for our new chair.  Ichiro and I also talked about getting a cabinet for the family room, so I enlisted Brenda to help me on that.  Of course the MA Ikea didn’t have the cushion we wanted but Brenda and I scored big on the storage for the family room. We didn’t get home from Ikea till about 8.  We ate and put Noby down.  After Brenda left I jokingly asked Ichiro to start the storage unit and he said YES!!  He is so great!  He not only started it but he finished it!  It looks so great!

He’s so good to me, he even hangs crazy lights that I find and love!!

Doesn’t he look so happy!  I don’t think he sees my vision!

The end result!! Exactly how I saw it in my mind!!! (Actually it is only missing one part.  We are going to add some cool fabric where the white is.)

Domo was also very excited about how it turned out! Check out the plant I got at Ikea.  It’s been tied in a knot!

Thanks Brenda for helping me today and THANKS Ichiro to putting everything together!
