Vintage IKEA? Need help identifying!

hey there!

my husband spotted this stashed in a shed (atill in its box!) at an estate sale this weekend and I can’t find anything about it online. Does anyone know anything about this one? Super curious!

Thank you!

Found this on the street with a “Free” sticker. Thoughts?

Looked great. Blue tape said free… still looks great.

Looking for more info on these chests

Photos are from a different listing I found. I own two in pretty good condition and I’m so in love with them, but beyond listings I can’t find any more information on this collection.

Please help me learn more!!

I have owned this little jar, I'm 41, since I was 19 or 20. So over 20 years I've owned this little jar. Whenever I try to do research on it, I come up empty. I don't ever find any listings for this for sale either on eBay or Etsy or any other reseller site so I can't message seller and ask them what they might know.
When I ask Google for help used to come up empty except for the mid-century, Paul Marshall did XYZ but nothing specifically about this piece. Though recently because of AI, google is telling it me it's part of a spice jar set. Then I inquire about said set it doesn't exist. There's nothing to show me. It shows me something that looks completely different. Etc. Is frustrating because if it is part of a set, I want to hunt down the other pieces.
I would tend to believe it belonged to a vanity set over a spice jar set. To me "miscellaneous" doesn't make sense with the likes of oregano or garlic. Given the iconography on the top with the word "miscellaneous" would make much more sense for it to belong to perhaps a vanity set or it is just a one off fun little jar.
I'm just hoping that somebody out there in this sub Reddit can help me learn a little bit more about this little jar that I have miraculously kept for the last 20 years in perfect shape given all of the moves and changes I've gone through.
Thankfully, it still has the foil Paul Marshall sticker intact. I definitely don't think he's overly valuable or anything, but I just want to know more about it.
Thank you all!!

Cleaning HUGE windows

I have a lovely 1962 midcentury home with huge windows in the living room- 3 that are 6'x8 and 1 that is 6' x 9'. They are original with storm windows. As far as I can tell, they have never been cleaned in-between the interior pane and the exterior storm and they are very dusty with spider webs, dead moths, and debris. There are tabs/screws on the outside of the storm windows but I don't see any hinges. Any suggestions about how to have them cleaned?

Mid-Century Inspired Office Restyle

My recent orange-crackle lamp and sunburst clock scores, sent me down a rabbit hole of redecorating my office in a mid-century modern-inspired look.

I'm working on finding a short 2 or 3 tier shelf or a small table for the wall on the right to decorate with some plants and maybe get the awards and random things out of the windows, and then I want to get some art for both walls.

Any other suggestions?
