I just moved into the new apartment, and needed a desk. There was only one solution, Ikea time! The Ikea here in Dublin has just opened this summer so the store was full of first timers. It was like taking kids to their first trip to a theme park, lots of bubbling smiling Irish.
I was able to pick up a decent desk (69 Euro), desk chair (39 euro), plates, cutlery, mugs, and glasses much cheaper than the malls here.
So many pieces. I think I will take a nap first.
My creation has legs!!
It’s looking like a desk.
Done! Who says I’m not handy? (Yes, I keep my pens in a roll of hockey tape)

HEY! I happen to love IKEA. My friend and I just went to the one in Minneapolis/St.Paul this summer. Here’s my post about it.

You’re brave. I assembled Ikea furniture once and it was my last attempt. It took me six, yes SIX hours to put together a dresser only to find that I had put the drawers together backwards and possibly upside down. Now I just pay my friends to do it
