After we got back from the store and unloaded all of our stuff, it was at least 8:30. We ate dinner (on the couch boxes) and settled in for the evening to put the couch together. That was the first
thing we needed to get done, because let's face it... I need a couch to watch my shows, and Gossip Girl was starting this week.
The Before shot of all our boxes...
Jon posing with the instruction booklet. The couch has a funny name, as do all the pieces at Ikea. It probably means "You must be an idiot to buy a couch that's going to take you 3 hours to
assemble"
Almost done with the couch... me finishing up the storage compartment. The left side also has a pull out bed that wasn't put in in this picture.
Christy came over to assist us in putting together everything- she was on drawer duty. There were 10 drawers total between the dressers and TV stand.... and each drawer probably had at least 6 parts to them.
Finishing up the dressers...
Jon's tired of assembly. And for some reason, Babar the Elephant was the only thing on.
Christy learns the fun of power tools...
Overall, I love the way everything turned out. I promise an after picture post, as soon as we're finished unpacking and cleaning up. Which could be, sigh.... forever...
