- Trollsta sideboard $349
- Tromsnes daybed frame $179

Yawn - I already have an IKEA catalog, Thanks.
Ouch, bepsf!
Those items are not what I think of when I think IKEA. I like the kitchen bench...
I love that darn trollsta....I think that I am going to have to break down and go pick one up for my bedroom
I like the bright yellow side table.
i have that embroidered pillow and i love it. except that it's a little scratchy...and i kinda had an allergic reaction to it. ha! but i love it.
I love that white lamp in the picture...looks like its time to consult my ikea catalog.
I am with suzy8track. I just got my catalog today and I noticed the lamp, but I couldn't seem to find the information on it.
I really like your roundups, as they give good hits to stuff I would maby have negelcted when browsing the web or any cataloge.
I have the pillow as well! Its matches NOTHING in my apartment and I don't care! Its so cute!
You didn't list the MARKOR line--those are the bookcases in that photo. I was thrilled to find them when they were first introduced to the IKEA lineup (about 4-5 years ago or so) because they're solid wood (no veneer!) and have more traditional detailing.
yes, does anyone know the scoop on the lovely white lamp?
the lamp can be found on the ikea website. it's priced at $79.99 and comes in a couple different colors.
