Furniture. I had never been to IKEA before this week. And BOY was it exciting! I didn’t think I could ever love a furniture store so much! We went to IKEA to pick up some stuff for Jon’s new place – a beautiful little house the next town over from our hometown that he’s renting with Chris, a good friend of ours. Let me just say, IKEA IS HUGE. There are WAAAAYYYY too many choices there for someone as indecisive as me. After much deliberation Jon and I settled with all of the things we picked out as soon as we entered the store…shocking…a bed frame, two night stands, and a large dresser. We came home and decided to put the dresser together right away so we could start putting things away. What a mistake. While the dresser looks beautiful after the assembly, it took us a solid 3 ½ hours to put together the over ONE HUNDRED pieces that came in the box. Awesome.
The next day, with Jon at work, I decided I was going to tackle the nightstands by myself. Oops. Apparently I’m not very good with schematic diagrams. The first one came out with painted pieces next to non-painted pieces, and the drawers assembled completely incorrectly. Double oops. BUT the SECOND ONE. Now that’s a nice piece of furniture ;-)
The bed frame came last and I let Jon put that one together all by himself :).
