weekend plans – stalled project

November 18, 2011 4 Comments

A while ago I hinted that we were considering making a custom bar from IKEA kitchen cabinets. Last night we drove to IKEA after work and it didn’t go as planned. Do you ever have those days where nothing seems to go right? That was last night. So instead of coming home with the cabinets to make a bar, we came home with an empty bag. 


At least the cat likes the empty IKEA bags.

So we’ll be spending some more time thinking through this project and our bar will look like this a bit longer. Sigh.

I’m sure in this crazy house we have plenty of other projects to keep us busy this weekend.
Have a great weekend everyone!!

    What is it about Ikea that can leave you feeling overwhelmed and shattered. I have left that store empty handed many times. I’m sure you’ll come up with an awesome solution. I can’t wait to see it because I also need a bar solution:)
