Sure do agree with his experience, but most IKEAists avoid the place on weekends unless they just want to get ideas or get alot of exercise.

I believe IKEA is especially bad for us guys since we don't read signs anyway and rely on our canny sense of direction to guide us through stores. This is fatal in IKEA since their floor layout at least in the Wash DC area is circular.

Seriously though, there is a lot there but you must do your home work before you go and go during the week day. You can use the Internet, but this won't work if you are looking for a new kitchen.

Now for Home Depot and Lowes. Please don't get me started on them.

I can certainly relate to everyone here is trying to match catalogue paints or color chips to real living spaces at home. None of these methods works. I have found a way that is cost effective and will give you an excellent idea of how that color will look in your space. I did this is the Washington DC area on a house I renovated.

I do this by painting large poster sheets (as many as you like) and stringing them across the room. That way, u see the color at different times of the day, can easily put it in other walls or rooms. Then after living with it for a week you can make a decision. It certainly beats painting the entire room.
