In my Let's Go 2014 post, one of my goals for the year was to be in love with my apartment. This weekend, I'm taking a big step in that direction! Bright and early this morning, my Mom, Dad and I are going furniture shopping at IKEA!
This will be my first time ever being in an IKEA store, so to say that I'm excited is an understatement!

This past fall, I saw a couch that I absolutely loved. It was all white gorgeousness, and I haven't been able to get it out of my head! After finding out it was from IKEA, I added it to my must-have list. I've been saving up ever since and waiting for the perfect time to make a purchase. This weekend is it!
Wondering what's on my shopping list?
The Extorp sofa in Bleking White
The Extorp loveseat also in Bleking White
The Premiar wall photo of the Flatiron Building in NYC
These three items are the ones that I'm the most set on! If they have them in stock in the store today, and look just as great in person, they'll hopefully be going home with me. There are also a few items that I'd like to look at, but am still unsure about.
The Aina curtains in pink, as well as a few lamps and decor items fall into that category.
How am I preparing for this shopping trip?
After some advice from two great bloggers, I'm feeling more ready than ever. Thanks Emily & Allison for the great IKEA tips!
In order to have the best IKEA experience, I've made a list of items that I'm on the lookout for, though if I find something that I absolutely love, I'd be totally open to it!
Since there are three of us going, and not everyone is a diehard shopper (Daddy, cough cough,) I've tried to prepare as best I can, by explaining exactly what we're going into. We'll also be wearing comfy clothes/shoes, and eating breakfast before we go in. Let's pray we're out of there by lunch…seriously though!
I've heard wonderful things about IKEA, but I also want to be realistic about what I'm buying, and not go crazy out of my budget. Be sure to follow along, so you can be a part of all the fun!
Have any tried and true IKEA tips to share? I'd love to hear them!

AH! So exciting. Hope you walk away with some great finds. :)
They are building on here in KC and I CAN'T WAIT FOR IT TO OPEN. :)
I love IKEA and have made many day trips just to go shopping! They have many inexpensive, cute things! I also love the food court...haha! They have Swedish meatballs that aren't bad. After that much shopping you gotta refuel! Have fun!
Living so dangerously close we go pretty regularly! I agree with the comfy shoes and pre-planning what you want, though I guarantee you'll find a zillon other things you want! And don't worry about being out of there by lunch, they have a delish little food court area;-)
Exciting! I love Ikea's frames and accessories. A lot of the frames have clean lines which are pefect for gallery walls. You can get large frames for pretty cheap. I also love thei cinnamon rolls. Huge but delicious!
