@@RaynaRain Yessss. I'm in Queens and that Red Hook Ikea can be a 2 1/2 hour journey - one way ! Especially because I haven't seen their downtown brooklyn shuttle in years, so sometimes I take the ferry to the train to another train. lol - nyc - where you travel by land, sea, and tunnel.

That LÄMPLIG hack was great advice. I didn't use it to cover my sink, but I put it over tile countertops that I'd like to replace but can't afford to right now. It turned an uneven surface that was hard to keep clean into a big clean workspace that I use every day

I always use my IKEA bags as laundry baskets really neat that you can throw them down the stairs with your laundry in them
@CallianneC28 күн бұрын
I have something similar to an ikea bag that i got in a local supermarket something like 20 years ago, it's survived moving to the Netherlands and I still use it as a laundry bag now and then, currently it's holding some cardboard that is waiting to go in the recycle bin.

I love the Ikea bags, i don't buy them every time but we have 5 and we use them in the garage a lot. I also love their dish brushes that have a suction cup on the bottom. They're so cheap and last a long time but I buy like 3 every time I go. The last time we went a few months ago I bought 3 and when I put them under the sink I was like, OMG I have 6 already lol. They last so long that I change it out about every other year and often I'm changing it because I've scrubbed something gross that won't come out of the bristles lol, but I won't need to buy any for a few years since I have 9 now haha. - I love the knobs you put on the dresser. my hubby has the same dressers and he has just the regular knobs, we keep talking about changing our bedroom set since i have the MALM dressers and he has the HEMNES and they're different colors lol, but I said I wouldn't mind switching mine out to his style, i would totally change the knobs on them if we do.

I recently had to redo my whole kitchen (thanks to a flood) and have all different size drawers and cabinets now. So I'll be measuring and looking for those organization items. I only live 3 miles from Ikea but it still takes nearly an hour to get there on public transit because I have to transfer. I usually do transit there and then Lyft back - so as to keep those meatballs frozen. :) Always have to stop by the "As Is" area just to look for extra bargains.
