My morning begins with a cup of coffee in my favorite IKEA mug. Today, I'm going shopping at IKEA in Tachikawa for the first time in a while. I always check the IKEA website in advance. It seems like there are a lot of new releases coming out, so I'm looking forward to it. Now, I want to get ready and head there right away! Today, I plan to buy something I can take home by hand with a budget of 150-200USD. I can see IKEA and I'm getting excited~! Upon arrival, we are greeted by the furniture. There are many items of interest. Fake green is also affordable but has this quality. New furniture was also found! Oh, it's too cheap...! I would like to get a new cushion cover. Such a nice design for only 3.5USD. I have no choice but to buy it! This is also a new table. It looks like it can be used in 2WAY. This item is likely to be sold at a select shop for around 70 USD. This is a bamboo bowl that I had checked beforehand. Mini baskets could be cute if used as pot covers. I'm also curious about the items that I can't bring home with my hands. It has such detailed embroidery and only costs 13 USD! If it was brown/beige, I would have decided right away…! This is also the first time I have seen this coffee table. Is this also my first time seeing this? ? I wish I had a place to put it in my room...tears There's also a convenient-looking mug stand. I'm not planning on buying one this time, but I'm also interested in a chest with customizable materials. Only 1 USD...what!? I found a useful magnetic clip! Today I want to replenish my kitchen with a lot of items. There are so many attractive things that I can't stop looking at them~ I also wanted a cutting board for different purposes. A kitchen cloth that costs 0.7 USD is actually free considering how cute it is... Same goes for the sponge...thank you. I also found a tissue case that I forgot to buy last time! Yeah...what's this~ it's so cute... Isn't it too cheap...? ? Although I have a desire to buy it, I need to consider the balance with other items I want to buy. This is also my first time seeing a candle holder. I took a look around the store and had some discussion time with my husband while eating. Today's lunch is curry and salmon salad. This glass can also be used in this way! Iced coffee too. Oh, he's having a bit of a lavish lunch! Of course, I'll let him share with me a little bit. lol IKEA's curry is sweet and delicious. Now, let's pay the bill and go home. I was able to put all the things I bought in one bag and have my husband take it! There were 20 items in total and the bill was less than 170 USD. First, let's introduce the cushion cover. 50 x 50 cm covers, I selected from many types. I especially like this sturdy cover with embroidery. It is quite thick and is a cover suitable for fall and winter. This one with a hand-drawn dot pattern is also cute. This one with stripes looks like it would look like an overseas interior. Good balance when viewed side by side! This lap blanket is bi-colored. In this way, I could easily change the impression by hanging it on our sofa. Let's change the cushions to new ones right away. I tried to put together an autumn-like atmosphere, what do you think? Take advantage of the texture of cushions and throws to make a slight makeover. I plan to use this basket as a pot cover. I bought this vase because I wanted to match the color with what I already had. It's a good size and has a luxurious feel. The basket is deep and easy to use. Place a plate in the bottom of the basket and transfer the plants. This color is perfect for unico's tall vase. The soft material gives it a classy look. I plan to display this vase in my study on the second floor. It feels so high quality that you can't believe it's only 12 USD! I wanted a thin blanket so I picked this up. A recycled polyester blanket featuring fine gathers. I would like to use it when it starts to get chilly. It looks very cute and I am very satisfied. This tissue case was something I had missed buying for a long time. Previously, I used a black case to match my previous interior. We changed to a wooden case that matches the interior of our current home. The curved wood silhouette is also very cute. A classic gold candle holder that I fell in love with at first sight. It seems easy to assemble. (Huh...? It was the opposite!) Try again...lol Looking good◎ I also purchased unscented candles to keep in stock. I like the classic yet modern design. This is a bamboo bowl that I checked beforehand. It's lightweight and seems durable, and The deciding factor in my purchase was that it was perfect for serving salads. Almost free kitchen cloths bought two! LOL! It seems to have good water absorption, so how does it feel after washing? I put it on here so I can wipe the dishes right away. This is also a magnetic clip that I bought at IKEA. A scrub sponge with a texture that makes it easy to remove dirt. It's not too hard and not too soft so it seems like it will last a long time. I often paste mail and flyers on my refrigerator. Thick ones tend to fall off easily, so this one seems to be just right. The grip and the magnetic force of the magnet are just right. Now, I don't think my mail will get lost again. The other thing seems to come in handy while cooking. I wanted to buy a new bag clip because the one from MUJI broke. The mustard color is also a deciding factor. It's sturdy, so it seems to seal well. I also bought a bamboo cooking spatula that doesn't damage the surface of the pot. A bamboo serving plate from the same series as the spatula. I plan to use it as a cutting board and also as a plate. I was looking for a suitable sized baking dish and found the perfect one. It's well made, and it's nice to have a handle when cooking in the oven. I've been looking for a cutlery stand since my cooking utensils have increased. Given the amount of cooking utensils I have, this size seems to be good. I would like to use the items I bought for dinner today. The main dish is potato gratin made in an oven dish. Add the cut potatoes, cover with plastic wrap and put in the microwave. The detailed recipe will be posted in the description section. (Wow!) (I was surprised) Once the ground meat and onions are cooked, add your favorite autumn vegetables. This sauce is the secret to its deliciousness. Mix it up. Add the microwaved potatoes to the frying pan and toss to coat. Return it to the baking dish. It feels good to have plenty of it. Sprinkle with melted cheese. The bag clip also came in handy right away. Place in the oven preheated to 180 degrees and heat for 4 to 5 minutes. Fill the bowl with plenty of salad. The salad seasoning is simple. Cut the bread on a serving plate and use it as a plate. It came out nicely grilled and looked delicious ◎ Dinner is ready! hungry… me too. Wow, it's beautiful. Let's eat. When I tasted it Yeah I really liked this Uh huh. What is this? Orange wine? Yes, orange wine oh. Cheers It's delicious. I think I'll drink a lot I put a lot of mushrooms in it. I see Because it's an autumn vegetable good good It's soft and flaky! Yes, soft and flaky. So good. Yeah Delicious Yes The bread is the one I bought at the supermarket. I put it on an IKEA cutting board and it looks nice, doesn't it? Oh it's delicious! This bread! Thank you (what about the cutting board? lol) Oh I see Potato gratin great success Yeah How much did this (oven plate) cost? Yeah, I think it was about 13 USD. Oh too cheap. yes, too cheap. It's pretty solidly made though Yes it's good. After finishing a dinner that pleases both the eyes and the stomach... I will have my own relaxing time. I did a lot of shopping at IKEA today, how was it? If there is an item you are interested in or something you also use, Please let me know in the comments section. See you next week. NIKO
