Okay, so today's project might be a stretch for creativity, but hear me out!
Today I assembled the large dresser I bought from Ikea yesterday. Now to those of you who have ever assembled a piece of furniture from Ikea, you're already agreeing that creativity is involved - you really need your imagination to decipher the instructions! Especially now that they no longer label all of the pieces - you have to figure out what is what solely by the pictures... and anything with drawers will make the strongest of heart shudder in fear.
I also made a whoops along the way, had to take a chunk of it apart, rig up something MacGyver style to remove a piece I wasn't supposed to put in that particular place (but one remarkably similar later on), and then reassemble, move into place, and load it up without it tipping over (start from the bottom!).
All of that aside, it was the last piece of furniture I needed to make my bedroom complete. I have wanted a complete bedroom for about, oh, forever, and now it is done! Art work - check! Side tables - check! Bed - check! Dresser - finally, check!
Ah the sweet smell of completion.... I deserve chocolate!
Lindsay! This is hilarious - I was at IKEA yesterday too!! However, my stuff is still in boxes - interesting about the pictures only with no labels...Dave will be putting it together, we'll see how he does.
