Why IKEA is brilliant:

So... aside from being a very contemporary, chic, and stylin place to snag simple decor ideas, this monstrosity of a building that contains all that brain power is actually quite business genius.

• They get you there because it is unavoidable... too large to walk on by. No really... see how unsafe these huge buildings are for the highways...
• You can't argue with how cheap it all is-
• You know where it goes in your house- for heavens sake- they show you!
• And, the place comes complete with a cafe that actually produces some quality food-type products for very inexpensive.

The old man who thought that one up so long ago is laughing his way to the Swedish bank daily and carefully avoiding his taxes... again... brilliant.

So, after the last IKEA trip... my apartment is finally finished!!
