Monday Morning Love - New Greatness From Ikea

September 23, 2013

Morning everyone! I don't know about you, but I can't believe we're at the start of another week already! I had a very busy weekend - I attended BlogPodium on Saturday, and had class all day Sunday which means I'm writing this at 2:30am - apologies in advance for any spelling or grammar mistakes.

I have to say that my Saturday was amazing - I'm hoping to write-up a full post on my experience, and the wonderful bloggers I met, and the tonnes of stuff I learned, but for now I'll just say that the keynote speaker was the lovely Sarah Richardson (yes, that Sarah Richardson) which was a thrill in itself. Sunday's class was Kitchen Design. It's only a four-week course, but it runs from 10am to 5pm, so it makes for a long day. Yesterday's class was in a furniture showroom, and I have to say I never knew there were so many rules when it came to where everything in a kitchen is placed.

Today's Monday Morning Love post is a little different because I honestly didn't have the time to search the web for an inspiring and beautiful space - instead I went to my inbox. Because of this wee hobby of mine I am periodically sent media releases from companies promoting their new products. Ikea sent me an email about a week ago with some new products for October, and I thought I'd share - I think you'll understand why.

I don't have kids, but most of my friends do. There's some debate as to the value of a toddler bed, but this one (called Ovre) may sway some opinions. I think it's adorable, and the bunting makes it even cuter (and I would love that stuffed shark).
Ikea Ranarp Lamps - Desk Lamp and Pendant lamp - $40ea
Ikea Ranarp Lamps - Desk Lamp and Pendant lamp - $40ea
I think these new Ranarp lamps are simple and classic, and therefore beautiful. It's available in a desk, and a pendant lamp, as well as a floor lamp that I think I may need to own in the near future.
Ikea Fjallberget Chairs - $199 ea.

My office has some very typical 'office-style' chairs in the meeting rooms. These new Fjallberget chairs are oh-so stylish, and now every time I sit in a meeting on the regular boring office chairs I'll be a bit disappointed.
Ikea Fjalkinge shelving units - $189
Ikea Fjalkinge shelving units - $189
I have a feeling these Fjalkinge shelving units will become a new blogger favourite. They come with four shelves, and you can add drawers. While they're lovely in white I know that the blogoshere will soon be filled with these shelved spray painted gold, and every colour of the rainbow.

Will you be hoping to see any of the above in person? I know I'll be using the lamp as an excuse to go to Ikea next month (although I don't honestly need an excuse to go - the meatballs and icecream are usually enough inducement for me to go).
