Ikea In My Home.

There's a wonderfully useful flickr group entitled Ikea In My Home. I went perusing the group looking for the best of the best, and found some pretty great ideas and inspiration there. I can't say I'd want my entire place full of Ikea furnishings, but they definitely provide a pretty good quality product at affordable prices, and their pieces mix well for a great vintage modern look, with a nice hint of clean, Scandinavian style. I like their lighting, accessories and frames (oh, how I love my Ribbas!) and have found more than one organizational and super functional piece worth raving about. I love my Lack shelf (I put mine on it's side and added some wheels, below) and I'm also a big fan of the Expedit shelving. Here's a bit of the flickr group pix that offer up some great examples of mixing up your own unique pieces with Ikea functionality.
