our new drawers! & the chest that they go in.


a big success from our ikea trip!  & by big, i really mean gigantic.  like 8 gigantic feet of drawers.

blakey & i have a lot of clothes.  yes, not just me, but my husband too.  {which is quite funny because we both have a tendency to wear our favorite 3 outfits all of the time.  & we donated an absurd amount of clothes before the move.  but still...}  yet we do not have a lot of closet space.

so we needed drawers.  & the piece of furniture they go in.  right, julie byrd??

ikea it is!  blakey picked out these drawers all by himself.  & after seeing them in person, i really liked them too.  that means it is time to build stuff.

{step 1: separate out all of the pieces.
we actually did this.
so dorky.}

{step 2: make sure beer is part of the building process.
seriously, it makes unpacking & even building more fun.}

{step 3: use an absurd amount of furniture pads.
my dad is going to be so proud of me!}

{step 4: learn how to hammer with a 55lb dog in your lap.
i mastered this step.
he is adorable.}

we love our new drawers!  & all of the storage!  blakey actually filled all but two of those drawers.  i got two.  he's so sweet.

{ok ok.  i already have my own chest of drawers.  but it is so much smaller!}

{ok ok.  i also have the bigger closet.}

love love,
kjp.

  1. Good work guys! That is a good looking piece of furniture that Blake picked out. I have a friend that thinks building a piece of IKEA furniture should be a requirement before people commit for life, as a testament to how strong their relationship really is in times of crisis. You pass :)
