First, I thought you’d like to know that Wally remains enamored with tissue. We’d been turning the box over at night but he figured out pretty quickly that if he knocked the box onto the floor, he’d have a lot of fun.Saturday was mostly successful. We found a little cabinet to sit next to the sewing cabinet that’s coming, and it was very easy to install. Although we got our bookcase, we could only find the wood doors and not the glass doors. We wanted wood doors on the bottom of the bookshelf and glass doors on the top so we can display some fragile dishes I have from my mother, and to keep certain yellow cats from jumping to the higher shelves. So we decided we’d get the wood doors and just make another trip back when the glass doors were in stock.
Once home, we realized one of the door boxes was completely mislabeled and contained a glass door. That left us with a wood door and a glass door, and to add to our frustration, the Ikea website indicated they had plenty of glass doors. So Kent made the 40 minute trek back to Ikea the next day and got one more of each kind of door—only to find out that the bookcase wasn’t really made to hold two sets of doors. But he’s a clever man, so he drilled an extra hole on each side to hold the hinges and voila! We have our bookcase the way we wanted it.The find of the day on Saturday has to be the floor lamp you see next to the bookcase. It cost all of $6.99. I love Ikea.
Supposedly my sewing cabinet gets delivered today but I’ll be surprised if that happens since the FedEx site doesn’t show that it’s in Boston yet. This is yet another chance for me to learn patience . . .
