IKEA Wants To Furnish NYC's Skinniest House

Filed under: Decor

skinniest house
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.

Wood Rhino Lounge Chair

Filed under: Decor

The words "limited edition" are music to almost any decorator's ears, especially when trying to create a unique look for a home. A cookie-cutter Ikea-type style doesn't necessarily have anything wrong with it, particularly when the design is nice, but products like that tend to be made from less expensive, less durable materials, which isn't as appropriate for a posh estate as it is for a college student. The limited edition Wood Rhino Lounge Chair will give you the look of the plastic, cookie-cutter-esque Rhino ($225) in an elegant hardwood finish. Only three of this elegant piece will be created, so even at $3,500, they're not going to be around for long.
