 |
Shine On
I'm currently in the midst of moving. This means I'm spending too much time on the IKEA website, plotting out an affordable, super-organized, non-ugly home office. ("Non-ugly" is a quality I quite admire in living spaces.)
Every time I walk through IKEA, I want to live in its showrooms.
Thanks to Oregon architectural firm ideabox, purchasing an entire IKEA home is now an option for Pacific-Northwest home-buyers.
Yes, a prefabricated IKEA house — for a super-affordable $86,500. (Manland not included.)
"Introducing aktiv, the first in a new line of houses designed by ideabox and appointed by IKEA. Swedish inspired, wide open living, functional, no wasted space, and full of personality!" the official site announces.

These small 53' x 14' trailer-like, space-efficient, eco-friendly one-bedroom homes will feature fully-installed IKEA kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and wardrobes, with plenty of customizable options for buyers.
