    My Top 10 Favorite IKEA Products to Own

    I know there are lots of articles flowing around the Internet with top Ikea products but I want to share my top 10 favorite IKEA products to own with you in case there are some you haven't seen. I'll also show you how I use each one in our home.

    I don't think it would be prudent to deck your house out from floor to ceiling in IKEA products alone, but knowing how to use certain pieces can definitely save you some money! With that said, here are my top 10 favorite IKEA products to own.

    Top 10

    1. Shoe Cabinet - these are so versatile and of course can be hacked any way you want! We created our entryway with this shoe cabinet!

    2. Rast 3-drawer chest - this might be the most hacked item in the whole store but I love all of their natural pine pieces for DIY'ing. See this DIY in my master bedroom.

    3. Ektorp sofa - I don't own this sofa but I hear from many it's a great affordable, washable option especially for kids

    You can see the sofa in action in my friend Beth's home below!

    4. The Ekby shelves - these shelves are so popular because of the cool brackets and the super easy installation. I painted the ones in our dining room gold of course!

    5. Ribba frames - these guys are hanging tough as one of the most affordable frames around with the matte included

    The ribba frame is the one holding the quote as part of my the gallery wall in my bedroom...

    6. Fargrik dishes - their 18-piece dinnerware are my favorite everyday dishes. They are so affordable and come in lots of colors! We have the white ones displayed on the open shelves in our kitchen.

    7. The ENTIRE Sommar 2016 collection - #indigoiseverything - we have these pillow covers and I also bought these fun paper napkins but I want ALL the things!

    8. Ranarp lamps - I never get tired of these lamps and they have lots of cools styles.  You can see this one in my office.

    9. Tobias chairs - These are more robust than ghost chairs but give off the same vibe. I have debated putting them in my kitchen for years and I think it's time to pull the trigger!

    Don't the clear chairs give even the most traditional of spaces a fun modern vibe?

    10. Kura kid bed - This was my son's first big boy bed and we have configured it every way possibly. AND I just whacked it off with my saw to convert it to a twin bed for our guest/playroom!

    Bonus

    Okay so I couldn't keep it at just 10! Here is a bonus favorite:

    11. Raskog rolling cart - Ours holds painting supplies but they are great for anything! It could even be a funky bar cart for a small apartment! They come in gray and white too.
