who needs Meccano when you have Ikea...

Moving from a large house with plenty of storage into an apartment with hardly any definitely takes some getting used...and some clever storage solutions. Over the last few months I have made quite a few trips to Ikea to buy units, hooks, hangers etc...anything to try and get rid of the clutter (not that I need an excuse to go to Ikea...)
Austin has always watched me with fascination building the flatpacks and helped with what he could. But this step stool was the first project he completed on his own, reading and understanding most of the instructions himself (well looking at the pictures). I basically just had to tighten the screws slightly at the end. 
Best $15 worth of entertainment I've spent in a long time...







ps/ please excuse the mess in the background...how embarrassing...

  2. I like the capable man part but maybe the loving IKEA part is a bit of a stretch. Austin loves the creche, does that count???
