My Drawers Transformation

I *heart* Ikea.

Not only was the online shopping service amazing, the delivery service amazing, but the products themselves were amazing.
I had one huge chest of drawers and 2 smaller ones made within 4 hours Saturday.

It was a huge achievement for me, and it was so easy to put together.

The transformation has been so exciting that I woke up at 4am this morning, put the light on, looked at the drawers, and then went back to sleep for an hour, happy.
I only needed the 2 screwdrivers that I own which was handy. No complications to be had, it all rather well.

Old plastic nasty drawers

Replaced with a tall elegant 2 set arrangement...

Nasty collections of 2nd hand drawers....

Replaced by one hell of a set of drawers!

To say that I am happy is an understatement!

The Ikea Flat Pack Adventure.

So I went mad and have treated myself  to some new bedroom furniture.

It will be the first time that I have ever had matching furniture, or indeed new furniture.

I was a little nervous about the actual build as I have only ever made one flat pack item about 4 months and it was a nightmare.

So the boxes arrived and I decided to start small.

I liked the fact that the instructions had pictures only, and that it all quite straight forward and simple.



Then after just 2 hours, I had my first chest of drawers made.  I was over the moon as they were very simple to make and felt really sturdy.

2 more small sets to go and then the large set to fit snugly into the alcove.

I *heart* flat packing!
