Last month I mentioned that New York's skinniest townhouse is on the market for $2.75 million. Furnishing a home with these size limitations (9 1/2 feet wide and 42 feet long) is no easy task but IKEA thinks it can help. The decor megastore is offering the future buyers free design expertise and $10,000 in furniture. "We're so in love with small spaces that we're putting an offer on the table, albeit a skinny table – free furniture and design expertise to the eventual buyers, says Janice Simonsen, IKEA design expert and spokesperson. I'm just curious to know how they might handle the kitchen, the narrow space has an oven with all four burners in a single row instead of the usual two-by-two arrangement.
