Ikea Bike Lane Painted
Despite Ikea’s resistance to the idea of eliminating one lane of southbound car traffic for a four-block long bike lane on Columbia Street, the city went ahead and started painting. A tipster sent in this photo of a bike lane that’ll take you right to their yellow entrance. Ikea Fights Red Hook Bike Lane [Brownstoner]

It’s starting to piss me off how much alike everyone is. You wouldn’t believe how my facebook home page lights up anytime a new Pinkberry, TjMaxx or Starbucks opens up near their apartment in Manhattan. You’d think these people were about to have sex with Tyson Beckford as excited as they are.
LOL. okay, i like you today.

Sure, don’t deck your whole place out in it, but come on, they’ve got some good stuff. Check out what this dude did with some Ikea pieces and a vintage set of drawers:

“I can’t figure out why so many people shop at Ikea. The stuff is crap and totally unoriginal since a million other people in NYC have your same dresser.”
Ikea used to be okay when it was actually inexpensive. Now? not so much.
Finally a use for those stupid dutch bikes from cobble hill
We agree 100% on that Rob.

I can’t figure out why so many people shop at Ikea. The stuff is crap and totally unoriginal since a million other people in NYC have your same dresser. I HATE walking into an IKEA apartment. I always wonder if this person is just lazy or has no actual taste of their own so they decided to try to replicate the “room” from the iKEA showroom.
For what it is, it’s overpriced, since you can get ACTUAL WOOD furniture at a thrift or vintage store for much cheaper.
I guess they’re ok for tea candles.
I <3 Ikea!
