Park Your Dog

I did a double take on this one: dog parking at IKEA in Tempelhof. I have mixed feelings. I wouldn't leave my Pug outside alone, nor would he let me. Regardless, this is clever way to protect our furry kids from heat and winter elements!

guest slippers (idea for your home)

While perusing Ikea Red Hook this afternoon, we noticed a giant bin of colorful slippers. Like small children, we began to touch and play with them. I suggested getting five pairs for when we have friends over for wine and nibbles. Pilgrim approves, although he's fairly certain that they are new Pug toys.
