TB, yeah IKEA is nice, but pricey, and the closest one is about an 9hr drive away (couple more hrs for Scott).

Wood stove would be nice in the loft...but for better heating, it would be better on the first floor, heat rises and all of that jazz. Other than you would have to go down stairs to feed it.

That is the only thing about this house I don't like is the wood stove is in the basement (in the hobby shop...so the shop is always warm) but to crank out enough heat to heat up the livingroom and kitchen, means the master bedroom (directly over the shop) is like a sauna.

On the plus side, the chimney goes through the middle of the 2 closets in the masterbedroom, so you wake up in the morning with clothes that feel like they just came out of the dryer!
