A day at IKEA

So finally, I had to chance to visit IKEA not just once but twice. We visited both stores in Alexandra Road and Tampines. We were supposed to buy Erick’s stuff in IKEA Alexandra but decided against it since it was a long commute from there to his house so we went to IKEA Tampines the next day which is one bus ride away.

IKEA is everyone’s happy place, I must say – from furniture shopping to food!

I’ve been hearing good things about IKEA food so we first tried their Swedish meatballs and the salmon since we got there lunch time.

 You wouldn't miss IKEA because of its blue and yellow building color.



IKEA in Alexandra Road

 Once you're inside, you will be delighted with all the stuff that you will see. There are lots of home  inspiration and ideas that you'll want to do in your own home -  from bedroom to the kitchen. 

When I saw the room below, I knew that it's the type of room I wanna have. The room itself was simple yet stylish. The space was maximized by using a divider between the bedroom and the closet.  And most of all, I loved it because there was a walk-in closet where I can stuff all my clothes and shoes :)

I really want to have a walk-in closet in my future home.  I especially loved the walk-in closet and adjoining bath and tub here.

I also loved this another space which is typically suitable for a condo unit. The space is re-invented and maximized. You wouldn't feel that you're living inside a shoebox space. Haha.

What's cookin' house-band?

And finally, here's the bedroom. I think this unit is perfect for those living solo and young couples.

 I wouldn't leave IKEA without buying something. If I could just buy some stuff for my room and ship them all to Manila, I would. But IKEA food is the most I can take home. So chocolate bars for moi!

IKEA, I will surely come back!
