. . . but I’m not.
While everyone else is drooling over the newest oddly-named modern particle-board furniture, I’m busily crafting my own custom solid-wood furniture.
Not to sound self-righteous or anything. 🙂
I’m most definitely not knocking those who are excited about the 2011 Ikea catalog. I really just wanted a fun intro so that I could show off my latest DIY project that I am beyond excited about. So excited that I had to share a peek today, before it’s completely finished and installed. So excited, because – every once in a while – it’s just freakin’ nice when a DIY project actually does go as planned.
So here’s what I threw together this past weekend. It’s 100% solid wood, and after I measured the space and sketched my idea and bought my supplies at Home Depot, it only took me an hour to assemble it.
And you can trust that I’m being straight with you about that. After all, I readily admitted when our damn nightstand-building project was not going smoothly or quickly. (Note: I’ll have the finished project ready to share by the weekend! Hooray!)
Now, while I try to keep my mind on corporate communications when I’d rather be home finishing and installing this latest project, you tell me: are you head-over-heels for the latest and greatest in funny-named Swedish goods, or are you busy with other things? Perhaps you, too have been bitten by the Knock-Off Wood bug and are carpentering up a storm?

I bow down to your woodworking skills!
I’m wish you on the Ikea stuff. It’s interesting to see the housewares, but it’s hard to get really excited over their furniture.
I’m so impressed!! I don’t think I’m brave enough to create my own furniture. I have been bitten by the look-on-craigslist-and-change-the-furniture bug. 🙂
I’ll have to concede a little from Colun A, and a little from Column B. I love IKEA, but Ana makes me want to see other furniture.
