The Dresser From a Dark Place (Part 1)
Doesn't look like it would be so difficult... wrong!
If you have read very many of my posts, you know I have been working quite diligently to get Braylin’s room “perfect.” For the past couple weeks, I have been at a standstill. About a month ago, I ordered a dresser/changing table combo online. I was a little leery of the quality and how hard it would be to put together, but it had good reviews so I went for it. It was shipped for free to a local store, so we picked it up and wanted to put it together as soon as we got home. We got all of the parts (about fifty) out of the box and realized a piece was broken. We decided to work up to the point that we needed that piece and stop until I could get the piece ordered and delivered. Well, about ten minutes into the terrible directions, we found that we were missing several of the screws and bolts that we needed.
After a minor (ok… major) emotional breakdown, I ordered all of the pieces that were broken or missing. I was told it would take ten days for processing plus shipping time. At this point, the dresser was still in fifty pieces spread throughout her room, so I couldn’t do anything except close the door and pretend it wasn’t happening. Meanwhile, I shopped online and planned out exactly how I wanted to arrange the furniture, paintings, etc. Of course, that changes on a regular basis, but it is fun to pretend that I know what I want.
Will we ever get this room put together? To be continued in Part 2…
That must have been so frustrating Dusti! It sounds like you have a good attitude about the whole thing! I’m sure the nursery will all come together and will look great.
Thank you! I will be sure to keep everyone posted on the progress!
DYI furniture can be sooo frustrating, especially when it’s missing essential pieces! I’m glad you (and Ryan) were able to survive the process.
Thank you! I am so glad we both made it through alive!
