Ikea In the House

I'm one of those Ikea nerds who can walk you through Ikea and discuss, at length, virtually anything in the store, all by name.  I know where everything is in the store.  I know where all the shortcuts are and how to use them.  My friends call me the Ikea Tour Guide.

What can I say?  I love me some Ikea.  You want to know how much of a dork I am?  I keep a list of all the Ikea I own - so I can remember the names, and so I can check, while I'm in the store, just to see, do I have that already?   I don't know why, but today just for kicks I thought I'd share.

So, if you've ever asked yourself, Jesus, does this woman have the entire store in her house? - I'm here to tell you that, well, I'm working on it.  Here's a list of all the Ikea I DO have.  I'll link major hacks I've done and posted about, and I'll mark where things are discontinued.

Yes, there's another list which contains all the Ikea I DON'T have but want to buy.  Of course there is.  Handles, textiles, furniture covers, glass vases, chairs, plant stands - and yes another Raskog cart.  (In case you were counting, I already have three. But I don't have the new green one!) 

Is that a lot of Ikea for one person?  Do you have more?  Tell me in the comments, I love to talk about it.  For now, Adjö!
