You've never shopped at a giant warehouse of cheap Swedish furniture? Man, you haven't lived!

They used to have the best commercials on tv, 10 years ago.

IKEA

It's like a furniture store/amusement park. I hate most furniture stores, but IKEA is cool. Much of the influence (particularly when they first got here) is Scandanavian.

We got all the furniture for Jr's room there. Desk, shelves, cool light:

Since you're around, I have a question. Need advice, actually.

How does one approach an architect with my Little House in the Desert for Mom project? I spent a very frustrating day on the phone trying to find an architect who 1) does single-family residential 2) knows anything about 'sustainable' design or whatever the buzzword is, and 3) is willing to work a project so small. One smarmy chap actually said, "How is your house going to benefit us?" I'm feeling frustrated. You'd think someone would snap it up.
