It’s that time of the year again – the 2020 IKEA catalogue is out and it has some awesome products in it that I know you would just love to see! I originally thought my list would have about 20 items on it, but I could barely get it under 30! I have 26 favorites listed below, and have also included some “honorable mentions” below that because they’re good products, but not quite faves yet… I have to…

It is near the Jeddah Chamber of Commerce and the world’s largest flagpole. The market set-up reminds me of farmer’s markets in the US, but on a much larger scale.
