I NEVER thought that one of the things I would miss the most about moving 3 years ago was no longer having easy access to an Ikea!!!! I almost never went there despite living within about 10 minutes away but since moving I've wished I was near an Ikea at least 10 times (to be fair, buying a new house often can call for a temporary increase in Ikea visits and the one near my old house opened well after we were settled).
