Long time no see… it took me longer i came back with another environment from the IKEA guide. Today with that environment that can become super important for newcomers, a small work placeholder, computer accessories, cables, the possible place where the illustrious wi-fi of the house will be plugged. It is not a rule, but a space dedicated to the computer was very important to us at the beginning to make our corner a little more organized, since everything was half integrated and we shared a single small environment in living room, office and dining room.   Essential Table, chair, a little place to store things and a light…

Immigrating by itself is already a big step in anyone’s life, but starting to work in a new country is not only necessary, as a stage full of doubts and uncertainties. There are many questions I get about how my area of expertise works, architecture. For those who do not know, I am an architect and urbanplanner in Brazil and I arrived here as a permanent resident, but without a job and without knowing much of my area. I knew yes that I would not call myself an architect around here, but it was not very clear to me where I would fit into the market. I will add that…

  It's time for the room, a super popular environment in every house, isn't it? They say that the kitchen is the heart of every home, but I know a lot of people who use direct tele-delivery and use the room as a work environment, meals, receive friends and etc, so I think a super important environment.   In our first apartment, which was an egg by the standards here, we combined dining room, office and living room itself, in the same environment. It was not an architectural strategy necessarily, it was really necessary, because there were no other spaces available in our 53 m².   I selected some super…

So in the early days of your home sweet home and even before a good night's sleep, you will need to use the bathroom, it is fact. After the bedroom and kitchen, comes the bathroom, equally, if not more important environment of the house. Bathrooms here in Canada have many differences from those in Brazil. The standard of bathrooms is to have a compact bathtub and shower on it. There's a curtain and no glass box. You throw toilet paper in the toilet yourself and the trash only fits other items. It has the discharge box attached to the base of the vessel and is there on its back when…

source – IKEA.ca Well, after the bedroom, I believe that the kitchen is a good environment to continue to compose your new home, but I must confess that it took a dame to assemble this list, due to the numerous items and the wide variety of styles that people can have in this Environment. My idea here is to list some of the basic products to start your kitchen, but I know there are many options from where these items can be purchased, like Dollarama, Walmart and HomeSense, for example. But as I explained in the previous post, this guide is for those who want to make a stop only…

After a month and a half in Canada, there in 2007, it was time to set up our corner. We rented a one bedroom apartment with approximately 53m2 and the first thing we needed was a place to sleep other than the floor. For this reason I find the room, or rather the bed, the first essential purchase for anyone who is setting up their home around here. I then selected some important ittems to compose the environment, since only with bed does not make a room. I already point out that as IKEA is large, has several furniture options for most tastes and styles, this selection is very personal.…
