It promised to be rainy most of the day and at only about 11°C it was not nice enough for any outdoor exercise.
Heading to a mall didn't sound interesting. However, last year, during severe COVID-19 restrictions, we did a lot of furniture assembly. We had always sort of ignored the Coquitlam IKEA but found putting together a MALM bed, dresser, and bedside tables sort of satisfying last year. That was when we calculated that heading through their showroom maze of displays makes for a hike that is a good kilometer and a half.
So, we drove to take a look today and a little walk. We didn't find anything worthy of purchase but did get a few ideas for our eventual bathroom reno.
Most all the display rooms look great but mainly because nobody actually lives in them. For example, we got a kick out of this kitchen below. The space looks pleasingly arranged. However, doorless cupboards would hardly work in real life. The only people who could have a kitchen that looks like this are those who always and only eat in restaurants.
