LOL at the people who are worried about "stealing" paint chips or that someone doing this could wipe out the supply... I have a 6'x8' section of wall that I covered in paint chips as a temporary thing while I decide what I want to do with it for the longer term, and I didn't even make a dent at the store I got the paint chips from. Nor did staff care how many I took -- in fact, one of them offered me a small bag to carry them in.

It's true that some people are willing to pay a premium for assembled IKEA furniture -- the problem is, those people usually don't own or have access to a vehicle large enough to get it home in.

Then there are the people who take their IKEA furniture apart to sell it, insisting they're doing you a favor by making it easier to transport. Fact: nothing good has ever come of disassembling and reassembling particleboard furniture that's put together with wooden dowels...

As for spelling errors on craigslist: the people trying to rent 'hugh' apartments always make me want to scream!

I have a slightly larger version of that sink and vanity (both from IKEA's Lillangen series), and I'm just a hair over 5'4". It IS a little too high for the face-splash method of face-washing -- more than one splash and the water runs down my forearms. So after I got it, I adopted a more grown-up style of face-washing, and it's all good ;-)

Mystic Bedding in Medford is great -- I bought my mattress and box spring from them... wow, 11 years ago now (eesh!) and it's still sooo comfortable and looks like new!

I looked at a condo once that was the entire second floor of a three-story brick bowfront building. The building's footprint was 20x40, and a common hall & front/back stairwell reduced the unit's width by about 7 or 8 feet.... yet the condo listing claimed the condo was 840SF -- quite a miracle that would be! ;-)
