IKEA SHOP WITH ME || FURNITURE SHOPPING FOR OUR NEW APARTMENT.

It’s finally time to take Avri to IKEA for the first time! She has lived in the US for 8 years now but has yet to actually have gotten a true experience of shopping at IKEA. We went to the IKEA in Elizabeth, NJ (near Newark airport and Jersey Gardens), since that’s the closest one for us now. By popular request, we are vlogging our furniture shopping trip as we get ready to decorate our apartment and give you guys a well-deserved apartment tour since we moved from New York to New Jersey. Come shop with me and my husband at IKEA! We will give you a walkthrough and some tips and tricks shopping at IKEA.

What is IKEA? It’s a Swedish furniture store but far more than that. According to their website: Founded by Ingvar Kamprad in 1943 as a tiny Swedish mail-order catalogue business, today IKEA is a global home furnishing brand that lives in the hearts of the many people. Explore the IKEA story here, including our heritage, where we are today and our positive impact on people and planet. The prices in the first IKEA catalogue were so low that people were initially sceptical about the quality of the products, so Ingvar decided to convert an old workshop in Älmhult into a showroom where people could look at and try products before ordering.

IKEA is named after the initials of founder Ingvar Kamprad, Elmtaryd, the farm on which he grew up, and Agunnaryd, the nearby village.

We needed to buy a bunch of stuff initially. We threw away our old couch that we bought online. It was cheap and we definitely got what we paid for. We found a few couches that we liked but ended up not buying one and we will just get the Ektorp couch that’s at Simas’ room at his parents’ house. We also needed a kitchen table, so we bought the Melltorp kitchen table and Theodor (but had to go to Brooklyn, NY for those). We also bought a shoe rack, a high cabinet for our bathroom and some previous things we got include our TV stand, current sleeper couch and bed.

We unfortunately couldn’t find the dresser we wanted, nor could we get the curtains either. We did, however, also bought some smaller things: bathroom and kitchen rugs/mats, pillow cases, bed sheets, duvet covers and a lot more.

No IKEA trip is really complete without eating at the restaurant but sadly (and understandably) it’s closed due to social distancing regulations. Avri couldn’t get a true experience of trying the Swedish meatballs and mashed potatoes (yet!) but we still managed to pick up a couple of Swedish goodies, including chocolate, gummies and non-alcoholic champagne.
