I think we are going to stay for a while and that requires making home more "homey". Print is gorgeous, the minimal glass works very well for showing off your sculptures.tanker bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09080888329110339975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-72897108284815140682009-04-25T11:15:00.000-04:002009-04-25T11:15:00.000-04:00They don't serve beer at the IKEA in Ottawa, altho...They don't serve beer at the IKEA in Ottawa, although we did have the meatball lunch when we were there.<br /><br />Sara, I don't think you can come back to North America because there aren't enough random strange places that serve beer...;)towniebastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129158923604362272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-54731529451834463892009-04-25T10:25:00.000-04:002009-04-25T10:25:00.000-04:00It's even in today's Guardian: http://www.guardian...It's even in today's Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2009/apr/25/interior-design-rented-accommodation and I reported a sighting of Craig's curio case in our local post office yesterday. Now THIS is globalization. But no one's mentioned the best bit of Ikea - meatballs, partridgeberry sauce and beer for lunch.

Y...^ Well said, TB<br /><br />But back to the task at hand. <br /><br />Your print is just unbelievably gorgeous. I'm really very picky about many of the prints up here. I don't like very many. <br /><br />But this, this is absolutely divine. <br /><br />And I actually kind of like the "boring" shelving unit.Jackie S.

We've been looking at buying a house or a condo in the next year or so. I think we're here for a bit.<br /><br />But IKEA is pretty decent furniture. So, if we decide in 10 years or so to move, we might get back what we paid for it, as IKEA gets snapped up a house sales pretty damn quick.<br /><br />Is that enough explaination for you, or do you require pictograms as well?towniebastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129158923604362272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-22378288462221857272009-04-24T10:23:00.000-04:002009-04-24T10:23:00.000-04:00and stating that you can get your price back "and ...and stating that you can get your price back "and more" on anything IKEA being sold in Iqaluit is just plain tasteless<br /><br />it's akin to whining about all the ills of the north and counting the days till ya leaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-1368829048618737632009-04-24T09:11:00.000-04:002009-04-24T09:11:00.000-04:00And for the record, I agree with everything you're...And for the record, I agree with everything you're saying. I am essentially saying nice things about a company that just did it's job. Plane ticket prices are far too high and food mail is a mess and one suspects First Air is partially involved in that as well.<br /><br />I wrote a couple of months ago that I'd rather see cheaper tickets and few freebees for the local communities, and I still stand by that. I'd still like to see Westjet come to Iqaluit, something that appears fairly unlikely in the current economic climate, but you can always help.<br /><br />Both First Air and Canadian North need to take a hard look at how they're doing things. They're essentially two peas in a pod right now and I'm not sure they're taking care of Nunavut customers as well as they could be.<br /><br />But at least in this instence, they did their job, did it well, and we're grateful for it.towniebastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129158923604362272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-31091065896157037132009-04-24T05:11:00.000-04:002009-04-24T05:11:00.000-04:00looks fab!looks fab!Sara Dormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062772751850705696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-68139995811836474162009-04-24T00:49:00.000-04:002009-04-24T00:49:00.000-04:00It is hard for me to get all warm and fuzzy about ...It is hard for me to get all warm and fuzzy about FA these days. When you think that essentially you're offering praise for their doing what essentially they're getting a lot of money to do. Deliver your goods timely and safely. <br /><br />While they do throw around stuff like free tickets to different organizations etc, I'd much rather have regular tickets that are affordable for everyone. My chances of winning a pair of tickets or free freight are pretty slim here, and even if I won a pair I'd have to pay $8000 plus to bring the rest of my family with me.<br /><br />Sorry, I have my own space I should be ranting in. I really should be saying "The apartment looks great with the new stuff, and the print is awesome!"<br /><br />It does, and it is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
