Our First Trip to IKEA

For the past couples months, I’ve been itching to go to IKEA. We’ve talked about going a few times but it seemed like every time we would start to plan a trip, something else would take precedence. This past weekend we finally had a semi-free Saturday because Cory’s work schedule got shifted around last minute so we decided to take advantage of it and headed on down to IKEA.

We are about an hour and 1/2 to two hours away from Atlanta depending on how fast you drive how bad traffic is but thankfully it wasn’t too bad (or Mr. Sloan was driving really fast).

I felt like a kid in a candy store.

Trying to figure out if I have room to put one of these in our room. Sadly, I don’t.

If you’ve ever been to IKEA than you understand how awesome their buggies are but I felt like I was drifting around every corner. I was trying to exhibit my “drifting” to Cory. I don’t think he captured my amusement.

Satisfied with my first IKEA purchases (a down comforter and white toss pillows that I plan on getting covers for) and happy that we got out less than $100. We really didn’t need our buggie but I really wanted to ride the conveyor belt.

Since we were going to be in Atlanta, I wanted to go to Nordstrom because the whole point of the trip was to find a new comforter for our bedroom. I found one online I liked but really wanted to see what it felt like because I’m picky about the way fabrics feel and was scared I would get it and not like it. Well, the Nordstrom in Atlanta had the smallest home section I’ve ever seen. Maybe they are all that way but I was pretty disappointed. Even though we had a great time in IKEA and I did buy a new down comforter, I didn’t get a duvet cover.

This was a look/laughter of frustration after a long day and not finding what I was looking for plus their being too long of a wait at The Cheesecake Factory. Even if I didn’t find new bedding, I’ve got big plans for our office makeover and can’t wait to get started on that!
