What if you lived at Ikea....

I've dreamed of living at Ikea so many times. Everything so efficient, in its right spot, perfectly planned and laid out. It's like a dream, one where the pillows are always fluffed, the duvets are always down, my shoes are always on racks, and all my clothes fit into those sliding-door closets instead of exploding out of drawers stuffed way too full. But I guess in the end it's a little white washed, and not me. Who am I kidding? I spill.

These images by Christian Gideon combine the best of both worlds: cool Swedish efficiency with American WTF-ness. Did that guy take his shirt and shoes off in Ikea? (And was he still able to get service?)

He survived the warrior dash, but he still reminisces about the past as he stares at sepia-tone daguerreotypes of his ancestors. What was life like for them?
