Living in 357 Square Feet

Found myself wanderin' 'bout Ikea in West Sac the other day. If you've never been there, it's kinda cool. Upstairs they have all these displays, downstairs is where you pick up all the goodies... anyway, they have this one display called Living in 357 Square Feet. Honest, they have everything including the bathroom crammed into that little box. And, I think I could do it. I've gotten pretty good at crammin' stuff into small spaces...

So, the storm the other day left all kinds of neighbors with water damage and what not that they have to deal with. I was one of the lucky ones but got to thinkin'. Maybe it's time to go around the apartment taking pictures again, for insurance purposes you know...

lotsa stuff crammed into little spaces, but no space more important than this one... if you look close, you can see the pegboard underneath all the tools... that is where I went all Martha Stewart and glued the kidlets old race numbers onto the pegboard-- watered down Elmers glue and a paintbrush. I think I read about it in one of my mom's magazines while passing time in her guest bathroom a few weeks back.

The artwork on the wall is the first bike that AWfoSho ever raced... got the frame from Kimo, of Innerlight fame, for a song... the tune went down something like a bottle of wine and a gift certificate to a local restaraunt.

I think if you look around on the ground floor at Ikea you can find something called bike shop in a box. When you get it home and open it up it looks something like you've seen here.
