Occasional IKEA

This week on Out to Lunch, we explore the places where home and business intersect. First, New Orleanian Kay Morrison. Kay was a success in corporate America when she and her husband realized they needed an extra partner — an occasional wife — to do all the at-home stuff Kay wasn’t at home to do. Kay founded The Occasional Wife to become that occasional wife for others.

Mehmet Ergelen founded Bluebag when he was renovating his Uptown house and made 15 road trips to IKEA in Houston. Bluebag takes the pain out of the Houston IKEA road trip — designing, shopping, delivering and assembling whatever you want from the store.

There he skillfully managed the State's $3 billion investment portfolio.
