Great Finds at IKEA
St. Louis was lucky enough to land an IKEA store in September of 2015. It is a warehouse sized building in downtown St. Louis that offers a range of home furnishing products at an affordable price. IKEA’s line of merchandise combine function, quality, design and value. It helps you envision how your own space can be more functional, organized and cohesive with day to day living. If you get the chance to visit, plan on staying awhile because it is an experience all it’s own. With so many IKEA finds, you will surely walk out with something.
IKEA
Get organized
and fall in love
with your home
all over again
I love to spend an hour or two roaming the expansive show room. I get a ton of amazing hacks going in and out of the tiny apartment sized areas they have staged for you on the top floor of IKEA. Yup, that is how big this place is! (There is even a restaurant with some amazing Swedish Meatballs on the top floor.) I see something new each time I go.
The middle floor houses the market, a small café, a kids area for babysitting while you shop (this in itself is a reason to spend an afternoon here!), a warehouse of products, and the check out.
Since they have opened, I have gotten so many things from IKEA. My bedding, my bath towels, rugs, furniture, dishes, pans, throws, lighting… literally every room in my home is touched by IKEA.
I decided that BLOG wouldn’t be complete without a post on IKEA deals. So without further ado: MY FAVORITE IKEA FINDS
Those Cute Little Plants
- The FEJKA plant. There are several styles of this little gem of greenery to choose from. They only cost $5.99 which is amazing for the quality and size. The FEJKA comes in a small, black pot which is complimentary to my style. If you think it needs a little more, you can pop them straight into a tin from IKEA or use one of your own. I have several of these simple IKEA finds at my house and at the lake. You can never get enough of a good thing!
Clocks
The DEKAD clock is another inexpensive find at IKEA. It comes in black or this brushed green color. Even though IKEA products have a more modern and sleek look and feel, this clock blends in perfectly with my farmhouse, antique vibe. (Other décor in this photo are from thrift stores. Check out My Favorite Second Hand Stores in St. Louis here. And Amazing Thrift Store Finds here.)
Little Silver Bucket – Plant Pots
This is another item that I have multiples of at home and the lake. At only $1.99 each, the SOCKER plant pot is the right size for so many things that clutter my house. Having a cute place to store my pens and art supplies to keep them organized is a win-win. These also fits the FEJKA plant pot perfectly.
Chair Cushions
I was blessed with my husband’s, grandmother’s oak table and 3 of her kitchen chairs. They are beautiful and cherished pieces in our home, but not so comfortable. IKEA offers a wide selection of chair cushions in some great colors. For average price of $8.99 each, they were a much appreciated addition to the dining room.
Step Stools
This is my favorite of my IKEA finds. The BEKVAM is only $39.99 and holds a max weight of 220 lbs. Like most IKEA furniture, you have to assemble it yourself. The directions are so easy to understand though, that I have been able to build most of the things by myself. Jaybird helps when it’s a heavier project than I can’t handle. (They also offer to build your furniture for you for a little extra money.) The best thing about this ladder, is that it comes with a mounting bracket to get it up off the floor. Everything has a place and there’s a place for everything!!
Storage
TJENDA $2.99 storage boxes with lids. I have several sizes of these in my home office. These are just the right size for file folders and office supplies. They help me to keep this area clean and organized.
High Chair
ANTILOP High chair with tray. This is a high quality high chair that I use everyday. The best part about it is that I can deep clean it easily with few nooks and crannies for food to get into.
Ice cube Tray
PLASTIS 
PLASTIS Ice cube trays are $1.99 each. I use mine for a mold for my KETO fat bombs. Find my Pinterest Board on Keto snacks here. I love how easy it is to pop these sweet treats right out of the mold.
