Ikea Wishlist: Dining Room

More from the Ikea wishlist! Wouldn't allof these products together make a cute dining room or breakfast nook? Since most of us cannot afford the real Saarinen table but still have hopes for high design this Docksta table would be a fantastic alternative.
The graphic black and white rug is so on point and the desciption says it is easy to clean and that chairs slide back and forth with ease.


The red chairs would add a bold infusion of color.


This Pendant light is industrial and chic.

Ikea Wishlist: Nursery/Kids Room

Between all the wishing and hoping that a brick and mortar Ikea would land in our town we created a wishlist of products that we would love to have for a nursery. Here are just a few of our picks.

Ikea is coming, Ikea is coming!


There are more than 200 Ikea stores in 38 countries but for the longest time the closet outpost for Colorado was Draper, UT or Tempe, AZ. Good news people, Ikea is coming to Denver(ish)! Rumors had been swirling that the Swedish Superstore would be taking up residence in Colorado and there was even an official announcement more than a year ago. Then there was silence. The rumors began again over some sort of hold up due to paint colors. Alas, yesterday the local news reported the project is a "go" again. The store will be 450,000 square feet and will employ about 400 people when it opens.

Holly has never been to Ikea and she doesn't have air conditioning so she is looking forward to an experience similar to this story from the LA Times with a side of swedish meatballs. Kidding, kidding!

Favorite Product! Compagnie de Provence

Simple, straightforward packaging seems so obvious but there are some that do it better than others. Case in point Compagnie de Provence They took the most basic design and made it desirable. For soap! They have some amazing scents and they even offer an organic line (top image)


I have wanted to buy some for a while but the only time I ever see it is in overpriced boutiques when I am on vacation. I didn't want to risk putting the glass bottle in my suitcase and then find it exploded during the flight or after the baggage handlers gently placed it on the baggage claim machine.


Randomly, I was at Martin and Osa and they had a bunch of the soap and hand lotion on super sale.


I bought 3 soaps and 1 hand lotion for like $20! The 16.9oz glass containers are $23 online.
I got the smaller versions which are actually plastic bottles instead of the glass but they still look great and as soon as they run out I can buy this refill soap.

Or, I will just find another company that makes the scent I like and re-fill the bottle.
Run and go get yours, or call to see if they have it in stock. I am debating going back for the rest :)
