I don&#8217;t know about you but there&#8217;s something about the fall that makes me want to get the house organized and in tip top shape. I wanted to share a few of my favorite things that I pick up when I make the trip to Ikea. I&#8217;ll be honest, I used to view Ikea with more of a negative light but over the years I&#8217;ve found so many great things worth buying from there. You have to be a little choosy on some things but there is a lot of great deals to be had. Here is my top 10 list. I&#8217;m sure I left a few things out, too many to remember!<\/span> <!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">1.Faux Greenery<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thetaleofanuglyhouse.com\/our-entry-way-before-after-part-2\/img_1240done\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6141\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6141 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sincerelymariedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_1240done.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1240done\" width=\"630\" height=\"945\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/sincerelymariedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_1240done.jpg 2184w, https:\/\/sincerelymariedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_1240done-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/sincerelymariedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_1240done-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sincerelymariedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_1240done-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/sincerelymariedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_1240done-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/sincerelymariedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_1240done-300x450.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 630px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 630\/945;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thetaleofanuglyhouse.com\/img_1633-2\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6202 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sincerelymariedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_1633.jpg\" alt=\"10 Things You Should Be Buying At Ikea \" width=\"630\" height=\"945\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/sincerelymariedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_1633.jpg 2212w, https:\/\/sincerelymariedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_1633-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/sincerelymariedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_1633-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sincerelymariedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_1633-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/sincerelymariedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_1633-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/sincerelymariedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_1633-300x450.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 630px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 630\/945;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Honestly, I&#8217;ve tried too many live plants to count and without fail they bit the dust with no thanks to me. I just struggle when it comes to real plants in the house. I always forget about them or I can&#8217;t seem to get them in the right place with the right amount of sunlight that they need. Ikea has been great for realistic greenery that you don&#8217;t have to remember. It&#8217;s like my kind of plant! They have several to choose from and the best part is that they&#8217;re extremely affordable. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">2.

I\u00a0 love Ikea&#8217;s curtain selection. I&#8217;m more of a neutral curtain kind of gal and I like to stick with non-prints so Ikea is my go-to curtain store. Not to mention, the average price is $10-$30 for two panels! You can&#8217;t beat that price I&#8217;ve tried. If you&#8217;re like me and you like to hang your panels higher up above the window Ikea&#8217;s great because almost every panel comes up to 108&#8243; long. What&#8217;s the quality like? I haven&#8217;t had one panel not hold up yet. The curtains I have in my bedroom I&#8217;ve had for 7-8 years now, they still carry them in the store. I&#8217;ve washed them and dried them more times than I can count and they still look great! <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">3.

I&#8217;ve always been a bedding snob in the past. I still am when it comes to sheets. I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;ll ever give up my Martha Stewart sheet ways but the quilt is a good start. Anytime I&#8217;ve need bedding I found myself shopping at Pottery Barn. They can be pricey but the quality is great. Recently I decided to finally give an Ikea quilt a chance. I&#8217;m happy to report after almost a year it&#8217;s been great! I LOVED the price foremost but surprisingly the quilt has kept it&#8217;s bright white color, washes great and hasn&#8217;t lost its shape. I&#8217;ve absolutely love it. They duvets aren&#8217;t much different. They&#8217;re very affordable and wash well also. I&#8217;m not always crazy about their patterns but I have found some really cute ones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">4.

We purchased our Ektorp sectional right after we moved into our in January. I had wanted this sectional for years and I&#8217;m so glad I took the plunge. I did a lot of research before I bought it. I made sure to read plenty of reviews. I don&#8217;t think I read one bad review. I can say after owning one it&#8217;s been amazing! I&#8217;m totally sold on the Ektorp line. It hasn&#8217;t lost it&#8217;s comfort or form and best part they sell several different slip covers so if I get tired of this one I can switch it up. It the covers are very easy to wash and put back on. If you&#8217;re not a sectional kind of person, they also make sofas, loveseats and armchairs in this same style.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">That&#8217;s my list friends!
