I went through it and flagged some pages, and when I came back I noticed that I also loved the SIGURD bench which you posted about. I also loved the garage organizing, but honestly, I have so many projects to do in the house that the garage will be done either by and by or it's at the very end of the list ... I noticed that our catalog here is slightly different, and sometimes the pictures are different even if they show the same things. Weird. For example the kitchen picture that you showed with the shelves that you like in the background, is also in my catalog, only the shelves aren't their. The same woman is washing vegetables and everything is the same, only not the shelves. <br />If you're interested in what I love from the new catalog, conme over and visit me at http://kram-werkstatt.blogspot.com/2011/08/er-ist-da-er-ist-da.html<br />(I post in German and English.)<br />Jule<br /><br />P.S.: I am going to IKEA tomorrow. :)Jule aus 9Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069247203540617187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-20637355021475685172011-08-28T05:39:25.924-05:002011-08-28T05:39:25.924-05:00I just got the 2012 ikea catalogue too!

But I live in the UK so I got the UK version... one of the things I hate about ikea is their pricing, for example the cute bed frame on page 152 is $99 in the US and £119 in the UK. <br /><br />$99 = about £45<br />£119 = about $200<br /><br />How did the bed double in price over here when its the same bed!

The theme song on the cover, "A HOME DOESN'T NEED TO BE BIG, JUST SMART" is critical encouragement for me right now. I spent an hour out on the patio soaking up the pages.

I'm sold on some BESTA storage for our sooo-to-be playroom but these new door/drawer options are intriguing. Can't find them on the website yet so I guess I'll have to be patient and wait for the catalog.

This last month I furnished a spare room for my daughter (so she has two rooms now) as her "study" (she will start school next month). I used an EXPEDIT shelf and a desk combination of ALEX (the white one with the drawers where she can store her school things). And in that room we have a BEDDINGE couch which can be used as a guest bed, but she snuggles up there all day to read her favourite books and magazines. She also has the (smaller) MASKROS lamp. <br />In my study, I have the Hemnes glassdoor cabinet with 4 drawers in graybrown (to store my schoolbooks and craft books) and absolutely LOVE that series. I want more of that in my dining area to display my dishes. <br />Of course, we have the PAX wardobe in our dressing room, and I want one for my daughter, too, now that she is outgrowing her baby furniture. The KOMPLEMENT system is brilliant, plus I want new doors, because we have a pitched roof area in that room and sliding doors will use less of the space. I could go on forever, but as I refurnished my daughter's study recently and will finish that soon, I will do an IKEA post on my blog very soon anyway. <br />JuleJule aus 9Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069247203540617187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-19758712036507263632011-08-24T00:21:39.794-05:002011-08-24T00:21:39.794-05:00We actually just bought the china cabinet from pag...We actually just bought the china cabinet from page 101 a couple weeks ago in white.

And we have found that the shortest drawers in TROFAST are the best Lego storage: They are nice and shallow so you don't have to dump to find the piece you are looking for!<br /><br />I've also discovered the joys of buying used IKEA on craigslist. If you can delay gratification just a bit, you not only save some money but you don't have to assemble and you don't have to dispose of all that cardboard and styrofoam (yuck!). Of course it helps to have a truck or minivan...Kathy Schrenkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17204191003006310165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-61874541563880778272011-08-23T22:50:17.260-05:002011-08-23T22:50:17.260-05:00Why oh why won't IKEA ship to Alaska?!

I love all the colors and pattens you've incorporated into your house. My living room needs a major pillow makeover and I've been searching high and low for the paisley pillow that is in your living room on the small white chair. Did you make it? I can't find it! I'd love to know where it is from! Thanks for all the great ideas!
