I grew up in the SF Bay Area, and we always had plain white dishes. Now I'm older and understand our trips to Cost Plus in SF were quite practical! Back then, it was a multi-floor warehouse full of wonders and magic, that smelled like wicker and tea! Almost everything was imported from China and Japan, and to me it was such a treat to see the toys and goodies. But my mother was there to buy replacement dishes, bowls and cocktail napkins, among other things! She loved poking thru the aisles and looking too, but I think we always came home with dishes to replace the ones we had broken over the past several months, along with something interesting she found. Her favorites, and we always had them, were white "lotus bowls," as she called them. They were white china bowls that looked like lotuses, and we used them for ice cream, pudding, custard, fruit cocktail--you name it. She was was an artist, very concerned about the appearance of things, and loved fine things. We had fine china we used for meals in the dining room, but for everyday casual use, it was the plain white china from CostPlus. Dishes break, but I don't remember it ever being a big deal, probably because my mom just figured it meant getting to shop at CostPlus in The City! I think the white dishes at IKEA are the modern-day equivalent!

I used to shop IKEA when I lived in Bordeaux France… so cool how Sleek and efficient the kitchens are and how they use every bit of space.

The Oftast bowls are a more affordable version of Corelle dishes. Not only are they a great price point for elegant, everyday dishes, but they are chip and scratch resistant.

Always love your energy and descriptions! "The dishes you save for when the queen comes over but she never comes over" 😂😂😂😂

A tip for the curtains if the colors don’t match your decor they dye really easily. I have dyed IKEA curtains in my apartment bathtub and they turned out beautifully. I am about to move to a new apartment in a couple months and plan to dye some new ones for my new decor. Thank you Kiva for all the great tips.

I have a hack for you, for frothing milk I use an old soap dispenser; the one that froths the soap as it dispenses. I cleaned it up with water, making sure no left over soap is in the container and the dispenser mechanism, pour milk into it, pump and voila!

The shoe boxes are great for small children's toys, too. I got the pillows several years ago, both throw and lumbar, and change out the covers for the seasons. Very economical, and I do plan to get more as we've started renewing and renovating. I love their curtains! We chose the rail system for ease of use and better sun blocking coverage. Love that the rails give us a choice to use just sheers sometimes, just blocking curtains other times, or both if we want. A bit more expensive, but not terribly so. I'm such an IKEA nerd! lol

Those tempered glass bowls are awesome, I have all of the sizes, great investment!!

I’ve had the frother for about a year now and I love it for mixing my protein shakes or my protein powder into my coffee. Like what you said in another video, making your space luxurious is not just about the items/furniture it’s about elevating your home experience. Definitely feel like your videos give me the motivation to do that, love your content!!

Such perfect timing! I just moved into my first home & it’s just down the street from an IKEA 🙊

THAT is dangerous! I used to work next door to an IKEA and it was Trouble for my bank account (but lunch was always great).

I LOVE the Skubb shoe boxes! I tried the plastic clear ones from Container Store, somehow they looked kinda clunky and too plasticky. The Skubb boxes look good, keep dust out and are so movable/adjustable. Even if you don’t have a proper closet, you can just stack these up and they look so chic. I have them stacked 10 high in 2 columns next to my clothes rack, and I hang a light from the clothes rack that makes the shoe boxes look even nicer.

I can vouch for both the ikea plastic container and bags. We use the plastic containers for cereal and it is air tight and pours really easily. My only gripe is it falls over easily it it’s standing alone. But if it’s closed, nothing spills, and on a shelf up against other containers, it not a problem. The bags are slightly less easy to seal than ziplock but not a big deal. And they last really well (I wash mine and reuse them) and are great price.

I got the frother on a whim, and life 👏🏼 changing 👏🏼 I've also been looking for seasoning jars - so done!

I love the seasoning jars I’ve had mine for over a year and I love the way they look

That milk frother is so great. It's better than the ones I've picked up at target or elsewhere.

I have the spice jars and the milk frother. Definitely 2 of my favorite products! We use the milk frother to make cold foam for our iced coffee.

Love all these items need the lazy susan. Babe is making some awesome points today! Thanks Kiva and Babe!!!

Just moved into a new place and i love these organization ideas, especially the shoe boxes! Right now our shoes are just in a huge pile in the closet. Funny enough I just donated a bunch of the seasoning jars... I have so many seasonings that their wide bases took up way too much space on my spice rack! I hope they have some slimmer ones for me to snag soon because I love buying bulk seasonings and putting them in those nice, labeled jars!

NOT ME GETTING AN IKEA AD BEFORE THIS VIDEO! loved this video, thanks for sharing 🥰

Yay! It’s Kiva! So love your videos and your bright personality. These videos are so helpful. We seniors don’t get out that much just to window shop, unless we window shop a lot online lol. ❤️. Those curtains! At that price! Thank you thank you!

LoveYOU!! Very good concise information about the products. You use them and can suggest new uses for them, for example, the little kitchen rug as a material for a painting. Genius!!! Thank you so much

Love it!! Thanks for the recommendation. I am sure I will pickup at least three items you listed!!!

i think lazy susans work better when theyre quite big, longer than your reach, at least for my purposes. then, i find, its the most practical; you dont have to ask someone to pass whats on their side or stand up and get it yourself - just spin! it works great for parties / brunches / breakfast spreads.

I LOVE IKEA dish ware. I got a bunch when I moved into my first college apartment 4 years ago and they’re still in great shape. They’re low profile and light but still pretty sturdy, honestly. I’ll probably stick with them for a long time.

Baked oatmeal? Tell me more! (Not getting much done this morning while I search for recipes/techniques.) Thanks for the tips!

In the house we’re moving into, I’m going to have some open shelves (not the now over-used floating ones, but boxed in like regular cabinets without doors) for my flours and baking supplies. I was planning on putting my spices in drawers because they look messy, but now I’m thinking I’ll put the spices I use most in those ikea jars and put the jars on those open shelves!

You’ve helped me so much! Thank you!

We had a bunch and I hated them -- tried to stack two rows of 4 tall next to each other, constantly fell over so I duct taped them together, they still slanted over so I attached stiff cardboard to the sides, this kept them upright but oh what an eye-sore. They're probably fine if you only stack them 2 boxes high, or wedge between something stiff, but take it from me they do have limitations!
