Who’s ready to win Kajsa Virkaaaaaaaa (in my best game show host voice)!!!!!!!??? Confused? Something about Ikea: the names of their products–well, mean nothing to me. I have NO idea what they are talking about. Maybe if I understood Swedish, I would have a leg up on the name game…but I don’t, so moving on. It’s that time again. The time where I get to spill all about my lucky find in the as-is section of Ikea and then give it away to someone. And wow, I really scored this time.
Meet Kajsa Virka:
Kajsa is a really soft, large, striped, multicolored throw that will no doubt go with the decor in any room in your home….and this little pretty is no longer available on Ikea’s showroom floor. As you can see above, we have been keeping her tucked in our entertainment center for safe keeping until she finds a new home with one of you. She looks so pretty there. But Kajsa Virka would also look amazing strewn across the bottom of your bed, folded neatly under a few books on a console table in your foyer, tossed ever-so-casually on the couch to create that magazine look or, around you and ___________. It is Valentine’s, after all.
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]

I would be cuddling with James my hubby, Cassidy my daughter, the three fur baby boys, and if my daughter has it her way, the guinea pig as well. Yes, we have a zoo and the animals outnumber the humans at this point. We did have a fish and turtle too but they went to a friend’s house as I just don’t have time to care for any more critters at this point. I’m tired. Lol. I stay cold and hubby and daughter stay hot so this would be fantastic for me. They would gladly let me have the bulk of the blanket. Yay, me!
Thanks for this rockin’ chance!
