On the first day i moved in, we went to ikea in search of stuff to furnish my room and the house! After deliberating for the longest time and with a lot a lot of consideration, i bought my very first piece of furniture!! And also bedsheets, quilt cover, kids clothes hangers (they're adorable!! lovely colours though slightly small) and drawer organisers!
Unpacking the contents of the 28kg heavy box, this was my chest of drawers in thousands of pieces, waiting for us to DIY typical ikea style:
To our horror, there weren't any tools supplied other than the alan key!! With a dozen screws and tens of nails to be installed, no screwdriver, no hammer - we were damned. But.... clever people like us began to improvise. And look what we found~!:
A 2.5kg dumbbell for hammer and a knife for screwdriver! And also a swiss knife for a tiny crosshead screwdriver. I swear we grew muscles from all that hammering!!
Bernice was such a dear to help me out. Both of us assembled and assembled until wayyy past midnight. And tada! Our proud accomplishment!!:
My first ever piece of real furniture and we assembled it ourselves with totally wrong tools! I'm so proud of our effort.
And this is how the rest of my small little room looks like now...
I love having breakfast for dinner and i bought too much meat today.
