Our IKEA Roadtrip

Organizing Moms at IKEA - finding tons of great organizing ideas!

We don’t live close to an IKEA, but this week my friend Jenn and I decided to do a blogger field trip and drive up to Seattle to check it out. It was so much fun to go on a little adventure and see all of IKEA’s organizing ideas.

Colorful storage at IKEA

design a home management plan that works for you

We braved the rainy day, and finally arrived at IKEA shortly after it opened. Luckily, the store wasn’t busy at all, and we didn’t feel rushed or crowded.

We spent hours looking at all of the playroom, mudroom, kitchen, and office displays. Each one we saw seemed to be better than the last one.

Super organized mudroom at IKEA. Great solution for renters!

We totally lost track of time, and before we knew it, it was way past our lunch time. We went to the IKEA cafeteria for lunch, and then finished up our shopping.

Both of us left with ideas for new organizing projects swimming in our heads. I have a feeling we’ll be doing another road trip to IKEA very soon!

Organizing With IKEA – Finds From Our Trip!

Glass coffee canisters from IKEA.

Glass canisters – I bought these for our coffee. We buy our coffee from the bulk section at our grocery store, so it will be nice to have pretty containers for them. I drink decaf (usually), and my husband drinks regular coffee, so I bought separate canisters for each of us.

Aloe plant from IKEA.

An aloe plant – For cuts and burns. I’m curious to see how my boys will react when I try to treat their next ouchie with a piece of aloe…

IKEA oil and vinegar dispensers

Containers for our oil and vinegar – Right now I have the original containers out on our countertops because they’re too tall to fit in our cabinets. I’m excited to use these as refillable bottles and be able to stow them away in the kitchen cabinet.

ikea spray bottles

Spray bottles – These were marked down to 49 cents each, so I couldn’t resist!

striped ikea tray

Striped tray – I noticed these when we were eating lunch in the cafeteria. They were using them to catch the extra ketchup and mustard that dripped out of the dispensers. I’m going to use this in the boys’ bathroom.

White IKEA cart on wooden floor

IKEA Utility cart – I’ve been looking for something like this for ages! We have a little closet under our stairs that’s really small for a tall person to get into. I’m going to use this cart to store some of our larger kitchen tools. This cart is narrow enough to fit through the tiny door that leads to the closet, and I can just pull out the cart instead of having to get into the closet to pull things out.

A close up of colorful IKEA napkins.

Napkins – For our next get-together. I looked for more cloth napkins, but didn’t find much this time.

ikea cart accessories

Hooks and a cup – These go on the utility cart I mentioned above. They were so inexpensive, so I bought one of each to try them out.

ikea storage box

A clear box – I’ve been looking for a storage box that will fit in the little cabinets we have above our washer and dryer. This box was $1.50 and the lid was $0.50! If this works in our space, I’m definitely going to pick up some more.

Because we don’t have an IKEA store near our town, this trip was a full-day affair that gave us so many fresh, new ideas! The next time I go, I’m going to be sure to measure some of my drawers and cabinets first so I’ll know if the IKEA products will fit in the spaces we have.
