We have been to IKEA both yesterday and today to get stuff needed for the “Plan, Clean, & Prep" phase of the remodel; storage shelves for the garage clean-up, and a wardrobe for the study, where I will relocate all of my hanging clothes that have been in the main floor closet. IKEA is definitely a BIG box store. Everything is packed flat and boxed up. We assemble the stuff at home. Today we had to deal with components of what we were after not being in stock and unsure when/if they would get in stock. Back and forth between two levels of the acres-large store, working with two very helpful employees. It all got worked out. As Don says, we had better get ready for a lot of the same thing during the project. We are tired. We have had our fair share of IKEA Swedish meatballs! They had a promotion on where the cost of your meal was deducted from the purchase of your items if you bill exceeds $100. No problem there.
It is good that you have Ikea so near, with its products that meet your needs, rather living way out in the "boonies", where little is readily available for a project like yours.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, free meatballs if you buy an entire walk-in closet or kitchen? While I love Ikea, that promo reminds me of when the US Army was offering a "free pair of socks for enlisting." - Emily
