apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Hah! That was my mother's day treat, too, given lovingly by a husband who HATES to "poke." We didn't buy the book, but we did buy some great $3 metal pails from the as-is that will make great outdoor planters (once we drill some holes). Yay for moms and for happy days poking in the yellow-and-blue!

Does anyone know in which "selected" Ikea stores this is sold?

Don't think you're crazy. My boyfriend and I are both curiously in love with IKEA too. :)

Not sure where you're from, but it is being sold in the Bloomington, MN, store. Probably not helpful to you, Ironsides!? I tried. :)

I've looked for this book at both the East Palo Alto, CA and the Emeryville, CA stores and have come home empty handed. : ( I even stopped at the Portland store near the airport when I was on a business trip and couldn't find it there. When I've asked employees they didn't know what I was talking about. This was a couple of months ago. Does anyone know if either of the SF Bay Area stores are carrying them and which section of the store they are being kept?

Love those stairs.

ooqh. i want...i want! does anyone know if the schaumburg ikea sells this???

lol. i guess i got so excited i misspelled oooh.

I found it last weekend at the Bloomington, MN store, tucked away in the Bedroom area. I've been buried in it ever since. LOVE IT!!

They've had them at the portland store for the last month or so.

I guess it's not being sold on the Ikea website? Can someone tell me if it's being sold in the San Diego store, and possibly save me an hour trip? Thank you!

Okay, dangit, now you've gone and made me add "Trip to IKEA" to today's to-do list.

I don't get how all-white homes can ever look this good and be described as also appearing 'lived in'. I don't have to deal with kids and their fingerprints and shoes on everything; however, even living lightly my walls get smudged and table/chair legs get nicked.

Goes to show, though, that white really is a fabulous foil for punches of color. At least in photography.

PS

I like how these shots demonstrate that the visual transition from one room to the next affects any given room as if that view were a physical component to the room.

Like the view of the black (?) floral wall paper from the living room with the striped pillows. Both are on black grounds. What a way to tie stripes and florals together an not even come close to country cottage.

Has anyone seen this book at any Canadian IKEA outlets?

They have it at the Paramus, NJ store - saw it there last night by the check-out. Before i dropped one of my new mugs i'd just paid for.

Just got e-mail from a friend in MA and the IKEA in Stoughton, MA has them. Now if I could just get my friend to snag me a copy and mail it to me... (IKEA might not be the answer for everything but we could use one in HI.)

Totally in love with IKEA as well..call me mad..but I call in their so often that the staff are sick of me..lol..especially the As-Is section..

but you have to be careful what you buy..made a huge boo boo by buying a big squishy Ekeskog couch only to find when I brought it home a part of the supporting front beam had a huge split in it...now it is propped up by books!!
