Love your choice of music.:) I remember owning some of those LP's.

Thanks!

How much screen real estate do you have in that rig? I'm drooling...
Btw, love the Dave Brubeck and K702. They just sound and look amazing!
I love the Brubeck album. It is easily one of my favorite jazz albums. I have several headphones and the K701s are my favorites. I have a Heed Canamp (not in these photos) that I use with them. Very nice combo.

A 42 inch LCD, a 27 inch iMac, a 25.5 inch Asus, and a 15 inch MBP are in the pic. Also, I have an iPad that I use to control some of the content that plays on the LCD.

I am a big fan of the iKea Expedit shelving. I had a rack in the office that costs more than the iKea, but I moved it out of there and will probably sell it.

Unfortunately every piece of furniture in my room is ikea I believe..
:D The closest iKea to us is hundreds of miles away, so you don't see iKea furniture in anyone's home in this area.

Their shipping is EXTREMELY expensive, so I usually get my stuff from an eBay or Amazon merchant (who also jack up the price, but are cheaper than iKea).

I wondered if there was some sort of stigma attached to it in areas that have easy access to their stores? I would think you would see their stuff all over the place since it is mainly inexpensive and nicer than some of the stuff you see at Target.

I am in Northern Finland , so If I go to IKEA It means I also get a trip to Sweden thrown in to the bargain, as that is where our nearest store is.

Usually takes an hour n half to get there, but it has tons of other great shops to got o on the same retail park.

I'm not sure if I posted this before

2 Ikea cabinets for audio equipment, and 2 Ikea wall carpets for sound deadening

On an interesting Ikea note, I put together a Besta cabinet for my office, and it was made in the USA.

All I have right now is just a Ikea coffee mug and the Malm series frame (high). The Malm frame is new (got it a month ago) and it seems ok. Conserves a lot more space which is nice.

I've considered upgrading my desk to an Ikea Expedit desk, but I'm not too sure.

Looks great, and I'm not even a big fan of white kitchens.

That's the best looking white oven I've seen, too.

I'm not a fan of white kitchens either, but I give a thumbs up also. (If I'd change anything, I'd get a steel fridge)

Done very well. :)

We're cheap, and have an Ikea 10 minutes away (on the way home from work...) so almost everything we have is from there.

The TV stand is Hemnes I think. The couch, ottoman and chair is from Ikea.

This is my wife's craft room, the shelving in the back is from Ikea.

This bookcase is from Ikea

We also have Malm dresser and nightstands in our master bedroom, small table and chairs in our kitchen, and we just got rid of 3 lack tables.

Unfortunately ikea is pretty far from where i live. its like 120 dollars to ship a 80 dollar item. so its not even worth it.

Anybody here use a Galant desk with dimensions of 120 cm X 60 cm? Is it enough room for a 23" Dell UltraSharp monitor and maybe a pair of 6" bookshelves/monitors or regular computer speakers? I've considered the desk that is 160 cm X 80 cm, but I'm limited in the amount of space I have (plus I wish to avoid clutter). Any info and maybe even pictures would be great!

Our storage / glass cabinet is Besta
(slightly confusing pic, lots of reflections going on)

As is our pot rack - so many people have asked about it, I love it , saves a lot of kitchen cabinet space.

When we sold our old house they made it a condition of the sale that the pot rack stays... (we never told them that it's just from IKEA for a few bucks - plus a few hundred bucks for the custom cut and drilled stainless steel sheet that we added, probably will get another one for the new one)

And last - but definitely not least - a few weeks ago I finally found some stainless steel espresso cups, two for $8.99. I very close to buying some for far more money (Zack or Blomus as far as I remember). They look great and are double walled, they're just those typical IKEA items that make me happy lol)
