This blog has not been generating a lot of comments lately and I’m certain this new post will do nothing to change that. That’s ok because I have my hands full trying to put together all of the Ikea madness that hit our home recently. I can barely feel my fingertips due to all of the twisting of the little screws and the particular pain that Ikea exacts. Here’s what I started to tackle last night.
Bear’s new dresser (I hope)
This lovely thing comes with a million and one boards, even more connecting parts and 56 steps.
Yowee!
I decided these needed to be organized a bit.
Ta da!
At 9:15, I threw in the towel and acknowledged I had lost the round. I’ll be back again tonight and am determined that the dresser will look as the god of Ikea intended.

that stuff loos very forbidding. Never would I attempt that. Can you pay them to put it together/
I’m sure you could pay someone to put it together, but I don’t know who. Also, we’re bleeding money these days so back to the screwdriver we go!
That’s the first thing I do…organize all the parts! Love the before and after!
Tedious task, but makes it tons easier putting it together. Last night, I was wondering if others do this, too. Now I know they do!
I love putting stuff together. My latest was a mission style desk from L.L.Bean. At step 17they recommended a second pair of hands. Grrrrr I was damned if I was going to ask for help at that point. Many swear words later I had it put together.
Yeah, we ignore those “two sets of hands” instructions, too. For the most part. I admit I had to call in AO a time or two – though usually it was more to help decipher the Swedish hieroglyphics (as he calls them).
