Okay, I had other things on my mind for today but seeing how (by my estimations) about half of my readership lives in the Midwest, this is BIG NEWS. I hereby interrupt your regularly scheduled programming.
IKEA IS COMING TO KANSAS CITY! (Fall 2014)
Read the full article on the Kansas City Star website.
This is huge for low-budget interior decor enthusiasts like myself. You may remember that a year ago, my cousin got hitched in Dallas and we snuck in an IKEA trip while we were there, which resulted in the long, looong boxes being slid into the car in a very tricky way–we had to fold down the passenger seat and the right rear seat and put the boxes in all the way up to the glove box. Then I had to ride in the back rear seat, single file behind Doug all the way back to Kansas (7+ hours).
Now, for those of you in central Kansas that trip is down to THREE HOURS or less! Think of the eight hours saved round trip and smile to yourselves. I am definitely smiling for you.
Have a wonderful weekend!!
My Friend Staci 
I’ll be about 4 hours away now instead of 6 and I’ll take that! ;)
Woo hoo! That saves 4 hours round trip!
OH BOY! You got me excited!! FINALLY! It was surprising when we learned it WASN”T in Kansas City, so glad they are putting one there! :)
Whew, 2014.. that’s a long wait! ;) But at least it’s going to be closer! :)
!!!! I’m super excited about Ikea, and even more excited about finding another Kansas City-area blogger!!!!
