Not Bad, Ikea, Not Bad

I tend to have a little bit of a love, hate relationship with the infamous IKEA. I tend to lean more towards the hate side of things when the little buffet I bought back in college wobbles like a fat man with little legs any time I need to move it. But, I love love love the prices! And every once in a while, they have really good finds! I made the trek to Ikea this last weekend for some curtains (post on that soon!) and came home with some pretty cute finds.

{cream, enamel pitcher $6.99}
{Hydrangeas from Farmer's Market}
{cute, label-less, water jug $2.00}
{Natural Doormat $7.99}

I'm actually threatening of heading back and getting a few more of the clear water jugs after receiving this book.
David and I decided to tackle registering, and we received this book from William Sonoma. I saw this picture of a Summer bbq. I love the idea of using the glass, water jugs scattered on the table for water.

I didn't come home with any of these and I'm kind of regretting it - they're only $0.49!

How cute would these be at that Summer bbq? Hmmmmm do I sense a future theme?

Dear Ikea,

I'm back on the side of loving you. I'm so glad that you are embracing your cottage side. Well done, Ikea, well done!

Love, Melissa

    I have so far been lucky with Ikea. My couches and countertops came from there...so far so good. The closest one to me is almost 2 hours. But thanks to your post, we may be making the trek VERY soon. Love it all, but especiall, love the water bottles and the doormat.

    Great finds! I always find something...usually so well priced that it is hard to leave...at IKEA. So glad we have some in our state now!

    Great finds at Ikea! I also bought the natural rug and I really love them. The white pitcher is cute and love the idea of the glass jugs for the table.

    Please stop by my blog. I am having my first giveaway! It is the Elle Decor, So Chic book.

    You only love Ikea again because you haven't had to build any of their ridiculous furniture recently :)
