The Ikea Challenge

[broneck]

I have 1000 ikea dollars and approx. 200 square feet to fill.

(Don't need a bed or anything for a kitchen...)

[AstroWolf]

he likes to put his furniture together himself to save the dough buddy, thats what he likes. aint gonna get too much of a choice of genra of design. ikea does not offer the french victorian section adjecent to the bennie hana section. unfortunately so.

anyway, with that much dough you can serve up a good room, bed frame, 2 cheap single matresses, fill it up from there with the nonsense. dishes?

make dolly and cinderella do it.

if we had our way, it would probably end up looking a little something like this...

except with more vintage paint-by-numbers of dogs stolen from the CBC props department, like in our house.

[jimmyc]

dolly you deserve better than a cheap Swedish Nazi bed.

[dolly]

dolly you deserve better than a cheap Swedish Nazi bed.

hence the photo of the queen's bedroom in versailles!

but in reality...my bed at my student house is also, unfortunately, ikea. In defense of my taste though, I should mention that my bed at home is beautiful white wrought iron from the late 1800s

[Yardsale]

one of the best things they make.

just don't let the girlfriend do it. Never let the girlfriend do it.

[newaesthetic]

So when you say Ikea dollars, I'm assuming gift certs? As in, I can't just point you towards EQ3, since there's also one in Burly?

Kyle, Yard, and Jewbagel basically covered it. The Lack/Expedit stuff is simple and using the biggest bookshelf as a room divider is nice (if you need to, which I'm assuming you don't). I like using it instead of a dresser so I can see all my folded clothes, but that's just me.

Any leftover money, blow on mirrors. Take that any way you would like.

[Leonard Leroy]

actually he has a grand.

[High Monika]

dolly you deserve better than a cheap Swedish Nazi bed.

But all she needs for a matching set is a coffee table and 4 placemats.
