• IKEA to furnish Obama’s Oval Office?
  Why not? In times of financial trouble, turn to the Swedish furniture chain for stylish, practical and economic inspiration when furnishing your home. President-elect Barack Obama’s notion of change and his commitment to fiscal responsibility matches IKEA’s philosophy of practical and affordable home furnishings for all. IKEA lost no time; they have already shown a replica of the Oval Office decorated à la Swedish cottage with light furniture and red-and-white striped curtains.
