I am lucky enough to have an IKEA store within 10 miles of my condo. My first experience with IKEA was when I was going away to college. Like most colleges, at UCONN, when we walked in, it looked like a jail cell. Most of my lamps, chairs, and bedding were all from IKEA to make my room adorable. When I moved in with my boyfriend (now husband!), we wanted a very modern look to our condo. Since we did not have much space and were on a budget, a trip to IKEA made our first condo together a home. See some of my IKEA decorations.
