friday five: ikea favorites

four years ago, the boy and i found new homes for all of our furniture and moved across the country to go to grad school.  for our fresh start on decorating, i envisioned a whole lot of white with maybe some gray for accents.  while all of our heavy furniture is white and wood, the cleanliness and simplicity is nice, but it turns out i like color too.  i've mentioned before that we are big fans of ikea since it's really about how you combine pieces, not how much you spend on them.  we made a trip last week to the bigger chicagoland ikea (yup, there are two and we are somehow equidistant from both.)  and i thought i would share some of my favorite things to buy there.  

p.s.
instructions for making the light fixture pictured above can be found over here.
