No Ikea in Salem, but great stuff anyway

The IkeaHacker website is full of creative ways to use bits and pieces of stuff from Ikea -- including this elegant design for a quick and easy coldframe, a Salem essential for stretching the fall harvest (sometimes through the winter entirely) and for getting an early start on spring and summer delights.

Not a local business though -- so just make a list of ideas and then remember to stop at Ikea when some you're up there near the Portland airport for some other reason.
