Time - Have you ever spent a Saturday afternoon strolling through Ikea, thinking, If only I could live at this magical place? The Swedish company hasn’t begun renting its showrooms just yet, but it has partnered with Oregon architectural firm Ideabox to launch a line of prefabricated homes. Dubbed “aktiv,” the one-bedroom home will be decked out entirely in hip Ikea decor. Expected to sell at $86,500, the home is Swedish-inspired and “full of personality,” according to Ideabox.
OH MY GOD! And I have a $50 Ikea gift card lying around somewhere too! Jackpot, telling my fiancee as soon as she gets home that we're moving into an Ikea, and without even hint of irony.
"Have you ever spent a Saturday afternoon strolling through Ikea, thinking, If only I could live at this magical place?"
Have I ever?! That's all I do at Ikea. I mean, I buy like, a cup, and maybe some small ergonomic lamp too, but mostly I spend so much time dreaming of what it would be like to live there that I get too overwhelmed and never end up getting anything that I actually need. This solves that problem right quick.
And only for $86,450 (after my gift card, obvi), my god it's a steal, I'll probably get two and just keep the extra one un-assembled in a closet in the back somewhere, you know, just in case we eventually outgrow our super-hipster abode.
