-baker's rack
-corner display rack
-two nightstands
-two small chests of drawers
-one large chest of drawers
-corner dressing table
-one large dresser
-shoe rack
-bathroom cubby
Not to mention the mounting of curtains and blinds, a towel rack, a shelf in living room and various objets d'art.
I own a level. It's a small, cheesy level, but a level nonetheless. I love going around the house seeing if things are level.
I've learned to spackle. And to put mollies in walls for the aforementioned living room shelf. And how to get molllies out of walls when the shelf needs to be moved because, in my eagerness to get it level, I kind of overlooked the fact that it really should be centered. (Yes, learning to spackle very quickly followed.) I just discovered the joy of metal mollies. Bestill my heart!
I love IKEA. I love HGTV. I may soon be a convert to the Trading Spaces religion.
Were it not for the whole sleeping-with-women thing, I think I would have made an excellent dyke.
The overtly sexual nature of the terminology is intriguing...mounting things, screwing things, and of course the ever-popular stud finder. How glad was I that I managed to come upon a stud finder all by myself in Home Depot. Would've been a special kind of embarassment to go up to the guys in the Tool Department asking for one.
My husband, however, is not among the handy. He takes comfort in the thought that if he leaves all those lovely flat-packed IKEA boxes around long enough, eventually they will turn into furniture without him lifting a finger.
I think I'll ask him to get me this for our anniversary.
