You Had Me At "Supervised Children's Play Area"

The sky is a little bluer this morning. The sun is a little brighter. There is spring in my step that I can only attribute to one thing – Ikea is coming to Austin.

In addition to 10,000 exclusively designed items, the IKEA in Round Rock will feature four model homes, 50 room settings, a supervised children's play area, and a 250-seat restaurant serving Swedish specialties such as meatballs with lingonberries and salmon platters.

You can bet I’ll be there on opening day. First in line to get me an Ingolf, a Blimp for Karl or maybe this Bästis for Mya.

After all, what’s NOT to love about smartly-designed Swedish furniture that you can’t pronounce?
