Put together my furniture with me !

I want to be able to do big DIY projects and this was a good start.

Now it wasn’t easy , there were a lot of pieces … I mean A LOT.

It took me 8 hours to put this whole thing together.

I had to use my own screwdriver and It came with all the pieces and screws…. but they didn’t send the instructions 🙈

I had to send them a message on Amazon and they emailed me the directions .. AND they were definitely needed lol .

I’m proud of myself for putting it together

Stay tuned for what I stocked in the drawers ❤️

Assembling furniture can be a daunting yet rewarding experience. If you're a DIY enthusiast like me, you'll appreciate the sense of accomplishment that comes from building something with your own hands. When I started the process, I laid out all the pieces to ensure I had everything needed for assembly. I'd recommend checking to see if instructions are included, as I learned the hard way when mine were missing! After receiving the necessary directions via email, I made significant progress, and it took me about 8 hours to complete the assembly. Patience and careful attention are key to avoiding mistakes—remember to double-check every step, as it can make a difference in the overall stability of your furniture. Once the table was fully assembled, I couldn't wait to style it and organize my space. Staying tuned for the next post where I share how I stocked the drawers and added decorative touches. DIY furniture assembly is not just about building; it's also about making your home reflect your personal style. For additional tips, join me in the journey of exploring, organizing, and beautifying our living spaces!

Smart Furniture Buys for Your 20s

Mixing furniture > matching furniture sets

I have never been one for a matchy-matchy look for my home. While matching furniture sets can definitely be easy, I think they can strip your home of a uniqueness and “lived in” feeling that makes a home special. And while I love to mix and match furniture, it can be challenging to know what pie

Ditch Matching Furniture Sets 🏡

The three main reasons why you should ditch matching sets are: 1- Matching sets can make your home look outdated or overly traditional. 2- Can feel flat or “cookie-cutter.” 3- They limit flexibility. It’s harder to evolve your space over time or incorporate new finds when everything is from one
