Yesterday, I went to IKEA. That is not the reason I'm proud, although my self-restraint when faced with so much cheap furniture is really to be admired. I love IKEA. I love the stuff it sells. I love the food. Goodness, I love the smell. If that's what Sweden smells like, I'm getting myself there.
But no, I am proud of what happened after I got home from IKEA. I assembled a desk. And not just a desk, but a desk that has extra bits that slide out and stuff, so it was quite a complex procedure. And I did it all by myself. It took all afternoon and my hands were raw by the end of it, but it's done. In fact, it is so done that I am currently using it to rest my laptop on. And as I found out yesterday, it can even take my weight so it's all good. And then I assembled a desk lamp which didn't take anywhere near as long, but I did it.
Just call me 'DIY Goddess'.
Bye

ReplyDeleteI've never been to IKEA...how sad. :'(
Being Swedish and all, this blog post makes me smile. <3 And if I might add, we're so much more than IKEA! You should come here and experience the hidden depths of this country... or something.
