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.

Loloi
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.

STUGA
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.

looking for inspiration?
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 […]

Good luck in the move Lindsey! I still haven’t made it through the whole catalog!
Home is wonderful. I was actually just reading a beautiful poem about it in a Garrison Keillor collection (let me know if I should send it to you). As the hubby and I were moving boxes over to our new home yesterday (will move in on Sunday!) I made a pit stop to the mail box and pulled out my new IKEA catalog. Oh, how dreamy! Definately added a little perk to the weekend, I brought it on every car ride : )
Traveling is the worst. But it all seems to be ok once you walk into your home :) Glad you made it back safe and sound!
Throbbing toe? Ugh I hate it when traveling goes horribly wrong, : ( And you were worried about traveling with Gretaaaaa, we’ll have to catch up Jules. Kisses to mom and dad!
AHH my heart ACHES for you guys and the fiasco you had to get home. FREE PIZZA???? I bet you were THRILLED! :-) I can’t believe we never ordered a pizza while yall were here. Oh well, next time! BUT I am so happy the day went great with Greta and of course, the Ikea magazine was anxiously waiting for you. We are already saving our pennies to get out there!! xoxo Tell Goy-yay Brin has been saying her name randomly since you left. My parents laughed so hard hearing her little voice say Goy-yay over and over again!
We got to watch “Men Tell All” AND the finale together. A definite highlight. :)
I’m glad you made it home safely! And I can’t wait to see pics of the trip. You and Meags have the cutest families! I hope you watched the bach while you were away. Even though it was the lamest season E.V.E.R.
