Ikea-Seattle-And Back


This last weekend I got to go on a trip to Seattle with my bestie, Krystal. She and her husband just bought their first home and needed to furnish it. She rented a 2010 Chevy Suburban to take to Seattle to shop! She asked me to come with her to help with all the decision making. I was so happy to help and get away for a weekend!

Here's the suburban before we went to Ikea. Lots of space!

Here's a sketch I did for her closet. We had to make sure we got all the right parts!

We got so hungry while shopping there.

It took us over 6 hours to do all the shopping. Check the bottom right photo.

DAY 2

We walked around downtown Seattle. I was in love.

I really loved the art on this building. It was right next to the Value Village Seattle.

Have you ever been in a two story Target? This was our first time being in one! Who knew they had cart escalators?!

This truck was a BEAST! We managed to parallel park it a few times.

Loved this pillow with the mini banner on it!

I wanted that apple green purse.

I bought this trendy flower headband. I am not one to usually wear trendy things. It was too cute to pass up. (PS- I permed my hair! I LOVE it)

Krystal and I!

Looks like fun! Love Ikea! Our Ikea in ChiTown is 3 stories tall!! Even some of our Targets are too! Crazy!! And I would never think of perming my hair at this age, but it's actually a great idea! I might just have to copy you!! It looks so cute!

So random!! Krystal is one of my great friends from Singles Ward way back in the day. I'm not even sure how I got a link to your blog but you're on my google reader so I was excited when I saw Krystal in your post! Can't wait to see your new house Krystal!
