Finally!

Yesterday, while putting together my new dresser, we saw a lot of this.  For way too long.

After a good night's sleep and the morning spent at Vacation Bible School, we finally got to this!

And now my bedroom is finally starting to look like the room I've been planning for a loooong time!  I'm so excited about how it's turning out and I can't wait to accessorize in the room!!

Some Assembly Required

Some assembly required is given a new meaning when these are the screws included for furniture assembly. For a simple dresser. From Ikea.

Being optimistic about this project, I knew we could get it done.  We started with all these pieces scattered throughout the room.

We finally got to this piece after much sweat and hard work.

After two hours of working on the dresser, we decided to put it aside and go home.  We finished the day with the dresser looking like this.  Almost there...I hope!!

However - I know, at the end of the day, this dresser is going to be so worth the hard work!  Have you ever worked super hard to put together a piece of furniture like this?

Operation Ikea

Today was a fun, but long, day!  We traveled to Ikea to get some furniture for my house!  Aside from Disney World, Ikea is one of the happiest places on Earth!!  Or, at least, I think it is!  :)  We contemplated renting a small U-haul truck to get my furniture home but just figured we'd risk it!  Who would have thought that we could fit everything into Mom's car??

We were able to fit a queen sized bed, two nightstands, a dresser, a coffee table, two end tables and various accessories and decorative pieces into the car!  Thank goodness for Ikea's smart "flat box" packaging!

Words cannot describe how excited I am to get all of this unpacked and ready to decorate!!

So tell me, what did you do for fun on your Saturday today?
