I have a plastic container filled with leftover IKEA parts. I don’t know why I keep them. I don’t even have much of the furniture they went with. The upside-down mirror is clever. And oh that frickin’ Balenciaga bag.

Just the thing to raise a good smile... thankyou 🙂❤️

The CEO of Ikea!!!!!! That was a good one. And of course the last was a good knee slapper too. But let's be honest...putting Ikea shit together would be much easier...blindfolded, then putting America back together again.

...IKEA just opened a store in Syracuse, NY, I'm excited to see it.

I LOVE IKEA!
Half of my stuff comes from there. The other half is thrifted. I also have three IKEA bags that I use for everything. EVERYTHING.

XOXO

If Ikea could put the US back together, it would be amazing.
I do like Ikea or Ikea like stuff that I can put together.

Bob said...

Their stores give me angst because you can't get out unless you follow the arrows and that takes all day and into the night!!!

Pixie said...

Too funny. My favorite is the flat pack of easter eggs:)

Boud said...

I love the bag! I've never been to IKEA, too far away, nor used any of their items, but I know about the Allen wrenches and extra parts!

Love these. Not a single meatball meme. :-)

The mirror...the bag!!!
The Netherlands chimes in with "Hi, we're the Netherlands. We have the Hague. Just sayin'." LOL

Duni said...

Thanks for the laughs! Why is there always a piece left over, right?!

Ms. Moon said...

I've never set foot in an Ikea but I sort of want to. They have definitely become part of the culture.

Travel said...

We go to Ikea every 3 or 4 months, you never know what you need until you see it there. And I easily get my hour of walking in for the day.

Fundy Blue said...

Just what I needed this morning, Debra! So so funny! The kitty with the rat is darling. Enjoy your day.

Mike said...

I've never been to an IKEA. And we have one here in St. Louis. One of these days...

DVArtist said...

Great funnies. I have never lived by and Ikea, thus I have never been inside one. Have a great day.

RedPat said...

I love the fake arrows. Wouldn't it be fun to watch.

Tundra Bunny said...

Who doesn't love an IKEA rat? Thanks for the LOLs, I needed those!

Bill said...

Never been in an Ikea. I know there isn't one near us.

Carola Bartz said...

The last one!! Yes!
I love IKEA - most of our furniture is from IKEA. We especially LOVE the Ivar shelves. All these gave me a good laugh, wonderful.

Mary Kirkland said...

These are great.

roentare said...

I certainly can relate to these memes

Linda's Relaxing Lair said...

Love these, Debra! The cat's pet rat is so cute! Thank you so much for the smiles.

River said...

I love Ikea and was planning a trip there after the heat wave, but can't remember now why I wanted to go. I'll go anyway. I have a bunch of those Frakta bags, they come in real handy when moving house!

Kathy G said...

We were at IKEA last week. As I followed the arrows I thought about how easy it would be for someone to mess with them.

Marie Smith said...

I would like to visit an IKEA once, just to see it

Janie Junebug said...

I've been in an IKEA once. I was afraid I would never get out. I wish Sweden would put the US together.

Love,
Janie

DB Stewart said...

Someone has to put the US back together. Sigh.

angela said...

I think if two people wanted to get married they have to put together a flat pack.
This will tell you exactly if your compatible

My nearest IKEA is a mile away, aways a fun day out.
