OPEN SHELVING HEAVEN!

Posted by Lori~

As you recall, I am now an IKEA family member.  And during my last visit to IKEA, Steve and I picked up some open shelving for our main floor bathroom. 

We have a 1939 bungalow with a VERY small bathroom and VERY limited options for storage. That’s where this photo inspired me….I read about it on Ethne and my favorite blog young house love.  It was a read re-design.

LOVE THIS!!!  TOTALLY INSPIRED ME!

Here you have it….total cost for shelving and some storage baskets—under $90.00.  AND I LOVE IT!

Next up, crown molding in the bathroom.  I promise to show a full-view of our major renovation once it is done!

IKEA FAMILY!

That’s right…Steve and I were at a wedding in Wisconsin this past weekend and even had a chance to spend a night at Ethne and Shaun's place!  IT WAS AWESOME!  And of course, we could NOT leave the Twin Cities without a trip to IKEA!

We were on a mission to look at bathroom shelving (SCORE!) and a new bathroom vanity (which with my awesome shelving I am actually rethinking the vanity all together).

Shelves are installed and I am in LOVE.  Photos soon I promise!

But as we were traveling through the aisles—Steve (that’s right…Steve) saw a large sign encouraging people to "join the IKEA FAMILY"!  NO CATCH AND SAVINGS!  And you get free coffee and tea!

There was a computer in the store that you sign-up on!!!  SUPER SIMPLE!

I am IN…and am now a member.  Not only that, but as you cruise through IKEA you will see price-tags with regular price (IKEA family price—CHEAPER).

I love IKEA and being thrify at IKEA (EVEN BETTER)!
