Me: "No, I'm just tired."
That's how my first conversation of the morning began.
As I'm sure you could have guessed, this weekend was spent moving and putting together Ikea furniture.
Misty and Theresa unimpressed at how difficult Ikea makes things |
"We can put this bench together, Misty! I believe in us!" |
Success! I did it!
I then moved onto the bookshelves, which I thought I had put together successfully. Until Andrew came over and pointed out that I put one of the shelves together backwards. Opps.
We spent the rest of the night working together, to complete our living room. I'm happy to say that the living room has officially been put together!
Our new living room! Complete with a sofa bed! |
Sunday was spent sleeping in. We then started moving some of our things, such as clothes, washroom stuff (shampoo, my endless amount of makeup and hair products, etc) and our mattress in from the old place to the new one.
Of course, it started raining, we were tired, and Andrew had things to do to prepare for his shift in the morning, so we didn't get to move everything in. We still have lots to do and I'm exhausted thinking about it.
For some reason, my thighs are killing me too and I'm walking like I need a cane.
I already know that it'll all be worth it when the move is complete though. I just can't wait until it is!
How was your weekend?

I have that exact tv bench. I've never cursed so much in my life putting it together.
ReplyDeleteI do love it though! Looks great with your bookshelves!
I love the new living room and it looks like yall have a great view! I feel your pain about putting the furniture together! Ugh such a pain but worth it in the end. Get some rest tonight!
ReplyDeleteLove the new living room! It looks so cozy!
ReplyDeleteYour living room looks great! I love the tv stand and shelving all around it. Looks like a lot of space for books..! You a big reader!? I love reading and books, but recently got a Kindle and LOVE IT. Anywhoo- Ikea is a bitch, isn't it!?! Their slogan should be; GREAT furniture, impossible instructions!
ReplyDeleteI seriously love the picture of you and Misty. So so adorable. :D And the living room is awesome! I love the black furniture. That's my color of choice for whenever I get to buy all new stuff for my future home, haha. I think it makes it look more sophisticated in a way? Maybe that's not the right word but, whatevs. Hahah.
ReplyDeleteAnd seriously, I really dislike when people mention how bad I look/sound. "Hey, are you sick or something?" "No...I just look like crap today, obviously." Hahaha.
everything seems like a good idea when in an ikea store and after the memory of how painful putting together their stuff is starts to fade. your room looks great though!
ReplyDeleteAren't Ikea instructions the worst? I can't tell you how many times I've assembled Ikea furniture backwards/upside down! So frustrating! Your finished product looks so awesome though!
