We recently decided to get a TV armoir to hide the television when not in use and to make the living room look a little nicer. Not wanting to spend thousands of dollars, we opted to buy something we would assemble ourselves. We did and it was pretty much hitchless. Sure, the first item assembled — a drawer — got taken apart twice (!) to fix misreading the directions (twice), but after that, it came together nicely.
And so it begins. Everthing is unpacked and laid out on the floor. Huh. That’s a lot of pieces.
jwa devises an evil plan for world domination with a Target armoir. It involves a screwdriver, wood glue and some salty language.
It’s starting to take form around 10:15 pm. We began the project around 7:00 but had an hour break for dinner around 8:00. We had a really tasty sake poached salmon dish with udon noodles and a soy, wasabi and citrus dressing. This was topped with mango slices, green onions and sesame seeds. Don’t worry, recipe coming this week!
jwa devises part two of his evil genius plan with the help of the instructions.
Chelsea is rather unimpressed. Her plan for world domination is really so much further along.
It’s upright around 10:45 PM.
Now it’s even in the right position. And with the tv in the designated tv position!
Next morning, it’s all still standing. Hooray! Project screaming cabinet doors of freedom commences. It’s successful.
Now we just need to try and fit the stereo equipment in there too. It might involve building a new shelf. Perhaps next weekend?
