More Ikea Purchases

All the excitement about the sectional beat out the excitement of a few new pieces around the house, also from Ikea.  These accessories were actually purchased during our first trip to the store.  We've always planned to replace the black jars we had, but once we saw these glass containers with stainless steel lids at Ikea for a great price, we decided to replace them sooner than later:

When we lined up the containers available, they weren't proportional, so instead of buying various sizes that looked mismatched, we chose one size and bought 3 of them.  Here's an older pic of the kitchen, where you can see the black jars we had (leftover from "college decor"):

This is what we have on the cabinet in our kitchen now:

Much better!

We have flour, rice, and sugar in them and now that we have clear containers, I can tell what is in which jar. We also purchased a taller, skinnier one for pasta:

Our other purchase was this lamp that we had to have once we saw it in the store:

Here it is in our house (you may have noticed it in the background of some of the pictures of the sectional set-up):

(Excuse this pic of it - we only had one bulb that was the correct size for the lamp).  We were worried that little Parker may be interested in the lamp and scratch or chew at it, but he hasn't even seemed to notice it.  (I think the sectional caught his attention instead - but he has behaved wonderfully with it so far! Yay!)

So what do you think? Any new additions to your home lately? Anyone buy anything from Ikea? How did it work out?
