Ikea Trip (Aug.8, 2025)

I made a trip to the city today to do some shopping and I made a stop at Ikea.

I want to do the girls room over so I was looking to see what they had for furniture.

I was looking at options for cleaning up the toys in the basement.

They have several options.

I think I'll end up going with this one but I'm not sure.

I saw this kids kitchen that I thought the girls might like.

They had some beds I thought would work for the girls.

They share a room so I want to get single beds for them.

I like that this one has storage.

This was my favorite because it has a trundle bed that you can pull out.

It comes in a bright yellow color too which I kind of love (It's the yellow that you can see in behind on the wall).

I even love the bedding on this one - the pattern is so fun.

They have cushions.

They also have the duvet covers for just $49.99.

And it's only $449.00 which I think is pretty reasonable.

I've been wanting to get new dressers for Jason and I for a few years now but I can't decide on one.

There were a few options there today that I think might work.

Maybe two of these side by side - one for him and one for me?

I do like the color.

I was thinking white before but now I've changed my mind and think I'd like to go with wood.

I came across this duvet cover and kind of fell in love with it.

I love the pattern.

I texted Jason to see if he liked it too and he did so I ended up buying it for our room,

I also got a set of sage green pillow cases to go with it.

These were some of the other options I sent him that I also liked.

Another pattern similar to the one I ended up going with.

I had a look at the blinds - I'd like to get some especially for my living room but I have no idea what size I need.

I perused the light fixtures too because I'd like something new for my dining room.

There were a few options I thought were ok but nothing really blew my mind.

I'll just have to keep looking.

There were a lot of things there that I did really like though.

I could make quite a dent on my pocket book if I was let loose in there and just bought every single thing I liked and wanted.

I headed back to Swan Hills and I got a little visitor when I got home.

I worked on another puzzle - it was one I picked up from the second hand store and it had a few pieces missing but it was still fun to do.

This is Paddington's spot when the door is open.

He loves laying there especially when the sun is shining.

That's all for today, until next time, be happy!
