The IKEA 2012 Catalog!
IKEA announced the launch of their 2012 catalog for the United States starting in August!
They also introduce an iPad application and they will launch a design blog ‘Design by IKEA!
They also launched Share Space, a U.S.-only website in beta-test mode, where people can upload photos of their own rooms, add tags to Ikea products, discuss design and build wish lists.
You don’t have to go all the way to France to stroll in gorgeous lavender fields!
Bleu Lavande offers guided tours of their fields in the eastern townships of Canada. They also have beautiful stores, I love their colors! I could totally imagine painting my house like this!
