IKEA Locations

I am a single woman with a Great Pyrenees and two cats living in a ridiculously expensive city. I have the opportunity to rent a furnished apartment which will mean storing all my furniture and decorations and seasonal clothing. For this reason and from a financial standpoint, I wonder if full time RV life doesn’t make more sense. I am not willing to part with my pets. Does anyone else do this successfully?

Throwaway for obvious reasons. This is going to be long. Sorry. I want to make sure to give enough detail and context, but I also think I need to write it all out to make myself confront things.   ##TLDR I’m not sure if this is really outrageous or if I’m making a big deal out of something ******, my “fiancée” said she was “just humoring me” in a conversation. It’s not really about the one comment about that one conversation for me, but because I think she’s been doing this for years and that comment clued me in that she knows she does it and it’s intentional and she’s been lying about it.   Am I being ridiculous by applying this one c...

I've been incredibly impressed with how sturdy the Hemnes line of furniture is at Ikea. As someone who hates particle-board furniture, I was excited to find the Hemnes 6-shelf bookcase was affordable and still decently built. The only downside is that it doesn't come in a nice dark wood finish. Can anyone recommend a brand that has similar structure and doesn't cost several thousand dollars but has more natural wood tones? I'm OK spending a bit more than the Hemnes.

TLDR; would you sell 5-6 items of (unneeded during school) furniture and pocket some $ before school starts, or take the time to package everything (exp. fabric couch) and store w/hopes of using in a future home? Actively working full time and stressed about moving, but also aware (and nervous) of what my financial situation will look like upon graduating, moving, & starting a job in a few yrs. My total loans from all of my education will be around 165K, all federal. TYIA! Hey all, I’m in a frustrating situation with moving and want some advice from current students and/or new grads who better understand the financial landscape. Many thanks in advance!! I’m moving \~1hr away in...

We have a 6.5 month old who is really rolling! We are planning to fully baby proof the living room and nursery over the next few weekends. We did some before her birth but still have more to do. It was a lot of the basic stuff like covering outlets and securing bookshelves/furniture to walls. We have a few specific items that I would love experienced parents feedback on! Mostly seeing if you see these as potential issues or if I’m just being an overly anxious new parent, and what you did to baby proof if you had similar items! What to do about: 📚 Securing books in open IKEA 3-shelf bookcases? There’s no other room to move these to since we turned my home office into the nursery. D...

It feels slightly surreal to be writing this here, but I saw so many people with MS writing on here and wanted to see if anyone has a similar ms journey. I, 24F (literally turned 24 just now) was diagnosed 3 weeks ago after i started a "flare" (i believe that's how you call it) a bit over a month ago that progressed very fast especially in the span of one week, with symptoms for diagnosis being: \- Spreading numbness and tingling starting from the sole of the foot to the knees symmetrically and then on the thighs and beyond asymmetrically. The numbness was not full, i could still "feel" but not as much and not normally, it was a weird sensation with some pins...

A few weeks ago I visited a small apartment where two brothers were sharing one room. I expected to see two separate beds but instead there was a solid wooden bunk bed. At first I thought bunk beds are only for kids but this one looked strong and well built. When I touched the frame it felt stable and not shaky at all. That moment made me rethink how space can be used wisely. Later while just casually scrolling through many online marketplaces including alibaba I noticed adult wood bunk beds in many variations. Some had thick solid wood frames. Others had built in storage drawers or side ladders. A few designs even had a small desk under the top bunk. It seemed buyers are not only thinking ...

A few weeks ago I visited a friend who had just renovated his room. The first thing I noticed was his modern bed. It looked simple but very clean and balanced. At first I thought a bed is just a bed but when I sat on it the comfort and structure felt different. That moment made me realize how much design can change even a basic piece of furniture. to discover more about while just casually scrolling through many online marketplaces including alibaba I noticed modern beds in many variations. Some had storage drawers under the frame. Others had padded headboards with soft fabric. Some were low platform styles while others had built in lighting. It seemed buyers are not only thinking about lo...

Hi everyone! Redecorating my apartment is recently within budget and I've got some ideas but I've seen some wonderful interior ideas from lurking on this sub and wondered what ideas others may have. The closest I've seen in terms of what I want are some ideas expressed in this [older thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/femalelivingspace/comments/1e6ytfe/grownup_mermaidcore_inspo/). Basically, I'm thinking some baroque-style pieces in gold combined with some seashell and bubble shaped pieces (loved this user's [idea](https://www.reddit.com/r/femalelivingspace/comments/1d008kh/the_full_bubble_bathroom_experience/)) with other major colors being blue (lighter and deeper s...

The apartment I’m moving to in a couple of months is a bit smaller, so it makes sense to want space-saving furniture sets (among them is the wardrobe). Lately, I’ve been finding minimalist life kind of cool, and decluttering my apartment has pretty much improved my productivity. However, my biggest stumbling block is that I don’t know much about the 3-door wardrobe, so rushing to pick one can be a disaster, I may end up with one that won’t offer the full value. Or maybe get one, and then the next day someone shares a much better one than I got. So yeah, I’d rather be cool and wait at least until I get some real insights and thoughts from those with practical experience. I’ve...
