IKEA should have been prepared for this. Thank God it wasn’t.

Have you ever noticed framed stock photos in IKEA room displays? We think they’re too boring and fake as hell. That’s why my girlfriend and I have decided to replace every framed photo in IKEA Vilnius with photos of ourselves.

Firstly, we had to count the framed photos in the store. Apparently, there are more than 100 framed photos in IKEA! It was quite a task to find that many photos of ourselves. Thanks to Instagram archives, we did pretty well. Next, we headed to local print-shop to have it all printed. Finally, we chose Saturday, the most crowded day in IKEA, to accomplish our mission without getting caught.

We hope you like it!

    First, we hid in the bathroom not to get noticed

    Not so long after, we realized that nobody cares, so we relaxed and made ourselves at home

    We put some pictures from our holiday in Denmark

    Some selfies look so much more real than all those stock photos

    We did not forget even the smallest pictures in the most hidden places

    Still, there are so many fake photos in the background

    Feeling proud to be the new face of IKEA!

    Some more photos from Scandinavia to fit that IKEA vibe

    There’s even a picture of us being drunk as hell in the local festival

    And there is another drunk selfie

    Some pictures date back few years ago when we started dating

    It’s a photo of us on our vacation to Minsk, where we found a fake Eiffel tower

    This one we put in kids’ room

    And we even changed baby pictures to photos of ourselves

    We took a selfie, printed and then framed it in IKEA. IKEACEPTION

    Someday we’ll put our baby picture instead of this one

    Finally, the last photo of us after spending more than 5 hours in IKEA!

    Still, there are many photos left

    We hope that people will like our faces

    Better than stock photos. Great idea. Did no one notice what you were doing or did they just not care?

    One IKEA worker came to ask what we were doing. We just said we wanted to see how our photos would look like in a room. She believed in us and went away. That's the story :D

    That's funny. I once had a friend whose mother replaced her baby picture of her wearing a pink dress with a picture of the family cat wearing the same dress. She never noticed the change until I asked her "Why is that cat wearing a dress?" She said her mother and her pull pranks on each other every once in a while to keep life interesting.
