IKEA spotting

IKEA SPOTTING is... - A collection for photos featuring lovely interiors adorned with IKEA products. - A display of my odd ability to recognize and identify most products from the IKEA brand, past and present. - An extension of my expression of love toward interior design and architecture, as seen in my personal blog [link below] - For IKEA fans, by an IKEA fan. Enjoy!

VAGUELY IKEA-RELATED YOUTUBE VIDEO SPOTTED // "Invention Invention - IKEA Horse Meat Detector"  by Tim Helbig of TimWillDestroyYou

IKEAspotting is still in retirement, but exceptions will always be made for Helbig-made IKEA-related content. Instead of Grace Helbig of DailyGrace fame, it's her younger-and-arguably-even-more-awkwardly-funny-or-at-least-more-awkward brother Tim. 

Misused hyphens and IKEA jokes for days!

Side note: Who else finds Tim's lack of editing skills/holding up photos he printed out endearing?

Ok ok... one more post and then back to retirement! Because I'm the Jay-Z of Ikea-related blogs. And because MONKEY IN PEOPLE CLOTHES.

IKEA HUMOR SPOTTED // On The Daily What

This Looks Shopped

Of course there’s an IKEA instructional manual on how to properly dress the IKEA Monkey, a 7-month-old Rhesus Macaque that became an overnight celebrity after he was found wandering around an IKEA store in Toronto, Canada earlier this week. [via thedailywhat]

H.O.V.A out. *drops mic*

IKEAspotting is coming out of retirement for one day only because this is too awesome not to report.

Daily Grace and IKEA meet again! This time she reviews the 'Ikea Monkey' phenomenon. Spoiler alert: there are amazingly terrible puns.

AUGUST 1, 2011 - NOVEMBER 1, 2012

I think a personal blog and a design blog are enough for me nowadays. After 15 months and 450 posts (a post for nearly every day... I didn't realize that until now!), IKEAspotting is officially retiring.

Thanks to my 400+ followers! It's been a fun run.

Note: The blog will be up for a little while longer, but due to my apparent addiction to Tumblr I may have to delete it completely to avoid relapse into Tumblog hoarding. So take note of any info/posts you want to hang onto! A good place to start is over at one of the many lovely interior design/decor/fashion blogs I've reblogged.

Some of the IKEA products that I have taken and done stuff to.

A Good Designer- can never leave well enough alone, as they say…..

Now I really want to go to IKEA and wander around the As Is section...

After you check out Randall's photo stream of IKEA hacks, head over to his site www.kramerdesignstudio.com to see some beautifully designed/fabricated steel furnishings and lighting fixtures. Some personal favorites of mine are this mezzanine walkway, this stainless steel side table, this oak/steel coffee table, and this fireplace.

Thanks for the submission, Randall!

Hi, I'd like to answer your question about the IKEA Fashion set I made :) That blue-yellow top is a "Contrast Colour Sleeveless Blue-yellow Tank Dress" from romwe. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the dress on the website anymore... Aside from that, I don't remember where you could find the blue clogs; sorry :/

You're awesome for looking that up for me. Thanks for the info!

This could be done with any number of mattresses.... but IKEA!

I actually really like that top. Where's it from?

The shoes are pretty cute too.

IKEA SPOTTED? // It's hard to tell if the spots are on the actual rug or if they are due to the lighting. If it's the latter, then this could very well be the KARBY low pile rug in beige/brown.

Thanks for the submission and nice spotting, suitep!

Can someone please explain to me why I don’t do these anymore? [via fartwithheadphoneson]

Edit: I've been informed by Michelle, the lovely singer in the video, that I have spotted wrong! The shelves are not in fact from IKEA, but get the look at the link above and enjoy the video nonetheless!
