waiting for the new ikea catalog

My mailbox is longing for the newest IKEA catalog to come out. The time is finally here and I am counting the days until I will hold it in my hands until then you can already check out the online version.  I do not know why I keep waiting for this day every year but it has been like this for quite a while, I even kept a lot of my catalogs over the years. Since 2007 I have kept all of them, not that I really have browsed through them in the past years but I always feel giddy flipping through the new catalog for the first time and I will immediately pick my favorite pieces and dream about redecorating the house. Of course I will not buy many items but a girl can dream, right? This year the walnut veneer pieces from the Stockholm 2013 (available in the US in August) collection really speak to me or the yellow nightstand, you all know that I cannot resist yellow. And what about the green velvet sofa? It looks comfortable and might age well. Are you waiting with me for the new catalog to come out? 

Enjoy your weekend! Stay cool!

  1. I love the IKEA catalog! When I was growing up the Sears Christmas catalog was a Big.Deal. Seriously. This is like the same thing, but for grown ups. Also. I need that coffee table.

    1. When I was growing up we would always get this catalog from a toy store around Christmas. me and my sister studied it diligently and marked our favorite toys. So much fun!

  2. I love the Ikea catalog too, but we do not get it because we have "no spam" sing on our mail box, so I need to look it online or get it from my parents later (they do not have the "no spam" sing).
    Loving the veneer!

  3. i love the ikea catalog too. i have several from years past. i think i even have one from 1999! i find i enjoy that more than actually going to the store now that there is one only 5 minutes from my house. i have spied a few new items i am really loving - the lucite chairs are one of my new faves. i love the chair you picked too!

    1. Oh wow you still have catalogs from the nineties. I should check my parents basement, they might have some older ones too...

  4. I am just like you, I get SO EXCITED for the new IKEA catalog. It's like a kid on Christmas waiting for it every year. Please tell me that green sofa comes in other colors, I am in love with it but cannot fit a green sofa in my house anywhere. I love this store. It's just so great, and so so so affordable. xo

    1. I believe that sofa also comes in a brown leather but there are probably other options as well. Ha, ha I couldn't commit to a green sofa either although I really love the color ;) Ikea always shows that good design does not have to be expensive.
