IKEA

[Loony BoB]

I would love IKEA so, so much more if I had a bigger flat.

So. Much. More.

But I've had to make do with a couple of computer chairs, two computer desks, a bunkbed and a filing cabinet. Oh, and a bookshelf. But yeah, I wouldn't mind having a large house to work with so I could make better use of IKEA. They certainly are fantastic value.

EDIT: Just noticed that NZ has no IKEA. Gutting, as that's probably where my first decently sized house will be. =/

You and smittenkitten have a bunk bed?

We do have an Ikea here that's fairly close by, but there's also a Raymour n Flannigan and other furniture places right by it so it's like hm, do I want this or do I want that. And normally I want something other than Ikea. I only go to Ikea when I need stuff like extra shelves and a T.V. stand. And sometimes their lamps. Otherwise I get furniture from different places. I do have a computer desk in my room right now that I'm giving a way that's directly from Ikea.

I buy my furniture at yard sales and wal-mart.

deja vu thread, just like the ones about pizzas. We're stuck in a loop here people.

also I still haven't changed my view on the subject, which is that the nation of Sweden owes me a new desk.

They opened a new IKEA near where I used to live (It was in Edmonton, I lived in Whetstone a bus ride/short drive away). On the first day there was literally such a huge crowd there trying to get in to take advantages of first day sale madness that there was a major crush which left a person dead after he got stabbed through the face by a woman's Stiletto heel. I felt kinda bad for the staff there but then I remembered I knew who got hired as head of safety manager who made the call to bring down the shutters (which caused quite a few serious injuries and contributed to the dead person's fate by causing a panic) and remembered she couldn't have managed the safety of a cotton ball boxing plant properly.

As for the furniture, it's lovely I'd love to just go through in to an unfurnished property and get to do it all myself. However I know that at present my finances don't stretch that far and I'm not settled, I move about a lot maybe when I eventually decide to bite that mortgage bullet and buy a flat/home. I'll probably stave that off til I've found a woman who will tolerate me enough to marry me and want kids.

Now imagine having been a member here for ten years and tell me about loops.

I am going to have an entire level of my house decorated and furnished with IKEA stuff. I love it. But i'm also a big fan of modernism and contemporary.

but weren't things all good in ye olde days?

[Shlup]

Yeah. And now everything has repeated 18 times and they're less good.

[Jiro]

Never seen an IKEA before

You and smittenkitten have a bunk bed?

Yeah, in the small room that people like Lev and Psy sleep in.
