New Office Courtesy of IKEA!

Hey lovelies!
Life has been busy as ever. Since last time I've landed a couple of sweet new gigs that let me work from home. Of course the very first thing I realized was I needed an office space. Before this you could usually find me in one of our Lazy Boys and trying to get all my writing done:
Soooo comfy yet extremely hard to concentrate. 
SO....I decided to create a fun little office space. Here's what we had to work with:
REE REE REE! (Think "Psycho")
So, after a quick trip to IKEA I was ready to get started. Mum helped put a lot of this stuff away and Dad let me borrow his tools and helped me follow the directions. I kept skipping steps for some reason and was all:
"IT'S NOT WORKING!"
"I'm missing a piece!"
"The drill is broken!"
"DAAAAAD!"
In reality everything was fine. I was just really excited to get this furniture together. So enjoy the photos of the experience. Fair warning: Although this is my project you will not find me in any of the photos. Working from home has its perks...one of them is not having to look like a human being when you go to work. So no photos of me!
Here's the process:


 Lots of lining up little wooden pegs!


 Part 1 Finished!

And the final outcome:



I'd heard some horror stories about IKEA furniture, but I had NO problems putting this together, well, once I quit skipping steps that is. Not their fault. I'm just special. So, as you can see, I'm ready to get going on this thing. I can't wait to get started!
