i love(d) my ikea jute rug.

but jute is really hard to keep clean. if even the littlest bit gets on it....spot of tea, dribble of water...it's stain city

it didn't look good for long, and ended up on our screen porch

i GUESS great mind think alike. yesterday i visited the costa mesa ikea and bought THE PEPPER GRINDER (in natural wood), THE JUTE RUG (large size) and seriously eyeballed the rad RAD woven light: http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm151/taylorjts/lamo.jpg (i snapped a pic with my phone to take home to show the bf.) I WILL find some special place for that baby…just not too sure where yet. there was a handful of other goods there but i had to pull myself out.
Damage: $245 yikes!

I saw the Maskros in person last week and I think it looks cheap and too craft-y. also, think about how it's gonna look after it starts collecting dust.

I love that woven shade and am thinking about it for my dining room...

I want a giant jute rug to layer under the kilim in my living room. think about that!

also, I'm doing a post about Ikea on Monday, funnily enough.

PS Väva really is a great piece, I bet you won't be able to leave IKEA without it

The MASKROS is a stunner, but I would get sick of it before it's installed I'm afraid.

Anyway, I wish you the best of luck and enjoy IKEA! (Ps. My nearest IKEA is ten minutes from my house. You gotta get something for being in Sweden, right?)

That crazy spikey rattan lamp is amazing. I love when Ikea just knocks it out of the park for you.

I think the meatball platter is $1 this weekend.

Thanks! That would actually be perfect for our bedroom. We have super high ceilings and anything too small is going to look awkward…even in a small room.

YES! PS VÄVA!

Thats it. That thing is RAD in person, but that pic is not wowing me.

Alison-the light is like 21/2 feet in diameter. it doesn't sound like a lot but it really is.
