I loved so many of these, Lauren, and that Domino's article about the IKEA hacks had my brain going into overdrive. Also, the chair + stool are SO COMFORTABLE. During my writing retreat I sat in one of these for basically 48 hours straight and my back was just fine!

Thank you Petya! Oh my gosh, that Domino article made me wish I had a workshop so I could do alllll the DIY projects. Glad you enjoyed the Poäng chair during your retreat, it does have a cozy "writers nook" feel to it.

I sometimes forget about Ikea and I am on the hunt for a specific piece of furniture so thank you for this reminder! I looked at many Poang chairs on marketplace and a new one and don't know why I never bought one but also, nice reminder. :) I have wanted the shoe cabinet for ages too, it is multi-purpose with its hidden storage and can serve as a quick entry table/console.

I have added many things to my cart...help!

Thank you Sonya! Marketplace in Victoria can be really great actually. I've seen lots of the IKEA shoe cabinets on there in good condition that you could score. Yay, happy shopping! 🤩

I don't make it to IKEA often, but I don't know what I'd do without my mini frying pan - about 5.5 inches and perfect for two eggs!

I feel a sense of calm just looking over these. A lot of which id never caught. That pillow is calling my name 🧘‍♀️

I'm thinking of elevating my crunchiness as a therapist by getting 2 for my office. I'll report back if I get any clients that take me up on moving things to floor. I used to do that with my old therapist in Chicago and it was wild how much it could shift the vibe and loosen me up. You've inspired me!
