Clowns in a Teeny Car at the Circus

Flat pack. These two words together just sound easy and efficient. I should know – I have loaded many car fulls of flat pack furniture from IKEA since we started this business.

We try to take the most efficient car when we travel to California to pick up your IKEA orders. On our maiden voyage several months ago, we measured the space in the Prius and figured we could bring back the order with no problem – seven Billy bookcases, a huge foldable drying rack and a bunch of odds and ends. There was even room to spare.

Recently, we employed the Prius for another shift. This time I thought it would be fun to pull together the pictures of the items we brought back to our loyal local clientele. It would be even better to make a video of the side view of a Prius with me pulling out each assembled item from the hatch back like clowns popping out of a tiny car at the circus. But you’ll just have to use your imagination.

Hey Baby!

One thing I LOVE about IKEA’s cribs is that they are low to the ground. This means several things. First, I can lift the baby into the crib without waking her up. You know what I’m talking about – you know when you’ve already put the side up because you don’t want to make that noise or jerk the bed once the baby is in it. You’ve worked so hard to rock her to sleep only to have to lift her over on your tip toes trying to be oh so careful while the motion of the up and down and too far from your body makes her eyes pop open and you have to start all over again.

Second, there may come a time (I have heard the stories) when your baby is done hanging out in the crib and wants out. Having such an intelligent and resourceful child, she finds a way to accomplish this all on her own. You can hear her saying, “I do it myself.” Scary is the first time when you don’t expect her to be standing at the end of your bed. “I do it myself.” But you breathe a little easier when you know it wasn’t such a long way down, you know, over the railing.

Third, most, if not all, of their cribs can covert to toddler beds making the transition easier and of course, less costly than having to purchase the big girl bed – that is, unless you WANT to.

Price reflects the price of the item, CA sales tax and our fee.)

Pick a color, every color

It certainly can be mind-blowing all of the great things you can get at IKEA for very little money. One of which is the kitchen gadgets. Whether you know someone who is just getting started or you want to freshen up your own kitchen drawers, here’s what I’ve pulled together from the numerous pages of the online catalog. (By the way, none of these items can be shipped.) Let us pick them up for you!

One Charm bottle opener, can opener, ice cream scoop, peeler, pizza cutter, potato peeler, the Grunka 4-piece kitchen utensil set, a set of two Idealisk whisks, the IKEA 365+ garlic press, a set of two Flackig mixing bowls and colander, the Dessert measuring cups and measuring spoons, the Legitim cutting board, the Slipad 3-piece knife set, the Smika cheese slicer, a set of 30 Bevara sealing clips, and a set of 17 Pruta food savers. All for 80 bucks? Uh, yeah.

“Register” IKEA

Did you ever wish you could register for your baby shower or wedding at IKEA? Well, now you can. Sort of.

Here at ModernLV, we recognize the great prices on home and baby furnishings and decorations found at IKEA and want to continue to help anyone and everyone in the Las Vegas area get all the IKEA you could ever want or need.

Here’s how it works – you browse the online catalog or get one from us. You make a wish list of everything that you would like. We put together a comprehensive list including pictures, prices and all essential information. You let your friends and family know. They contact us, and we email them your list. We will schedule a trip before your shower or wedding so your guests can have all your gifts for the occasion.

This is the most personalized service you can get. Never worry about getting the same thing twice or even three times. Don’t worry about taking things back. Let us help make it the special day it’s supposed to be, and you get what you really want, not what just what’s available here in town.

Let’s get this started! We are giving free assembly to the first ten moms-to-be or brides who “register” with ModernLV.

Swedish Chef

 

We all know and love the original Swedish Chef from Muppet fame. I have to say he and Beeker were my two favorites on the show. I kind of liked the two old guys in the balcony because they were so rude.

IKEA has begun capitalizing on the traditions started by Jim Henson. To better promote their packaged foods and kitchenware,  IKEA’s Chef Jorn has taken the helm at the range. His Swedish cooking instructional videos can be found here. The videos are kind of corny and fun. Best of all they make you crave those eponymous flavors of Sweden.

If you need something from the IKEA foodmarket, just let us know.
