IKEA is killing me lately. Since most of their pieces are designed with a lack of staying power, I’m hesitant to commit to any of their larger items. But then I saw the TROLLSTA sideboard and absolutely love it. What’s a girl to do?
Needless to say, with an iffy stomach I haven’t been able to drink any of my mandatory coffee for the past few days. And it’s killing me! I’m pretty sure I’d at least feel better about it if I had the La Sorrentina coffee machine to gaze upon. What a beautiful example of form meeting function – love the steam nozzle hanging off the back!
This silver can vase? I love it. And even though I could just as easily use an empty soup can it’s just not the same! So many uses, so little time.

This underlay ladder would look incredible down the center of a dining table. So much more functional than using five different trivets!
Alright, is it just me or is IKEA really hitting a lot of things outta the park this spring? Case in point: the BERGSBO cabinet. I’d love to have one of these to display all of my barware. Heck, it could even be a little cabinet bar if you stash all of your glasses and liquor bottles inside. Just open the doors and voila! Instant party.
Have I ever mentioned that I adore books? That I have about a gazillion of them? Or that I have a really difficult time getting rid of even the really horrible ones? All true. I think I could solve this pesky problem of mine with the help of a few French Industrial Double Bookshelves. Wouldn’t a wall look fantastic lined with them? It would give things a nice laboratory feeling I’d like to think. Now if I only had a dollar for every book I owned I could afford them!

I never fancied myself a table mirror sort of girl. (Actually I’ve never “fancied” myself anything before this post.) But then I met the FIGGJO mirror at IKEA and thought it just might be so. Measuring in at 9 7/8 X 18 1/8″ this would fit perfectly atop my bedroom dresser.

Patrick Jouin brings us an updated folding chair with his fol.d chair for XO. The seat slides up instead of folding! I love this as an option for extra seating instead of the old metal variety.
Holy fun kitchen-y and entertaining goodness at Crate & Barrel!

The Signature Now & Then Cake Stand is kind of a little guy – only 9″ across. The red hue and shiny glaze finish sold me anyways. Makes me want to bake snowball cupcakes and stack them up on it!
