The Great Sofa Project: Phase 1
i am attempting to build a sofa from scratch, which is probably way over my head, but i think it’s more fun trying to build things when i don’t know exactly what i’m doing. so far i’ve cut the sides of the frame with my jigsaw, and that’s about it. those aren’t even finished since i want to round the corners. at this rate, it will probably take years to get this thing done even though the design is really simple. i just got the jute webbing and webbing stretcher in the mail, so now i’m ready to proceed, but i think cleaning my room should come first.

I’m Never Going To Get My Shelves :(
A few weeks ago i went to Ikea and found shelves that i want for my bedroom, but they happened to be out of stock. i went back last week…and they’re still out of stock. This time i asked when they would be getting a new shipment, and they said it would be 11 weeks, i’m not even going to be living in my house by then!
The shelves in question are Stripa shelves. i wanted to put 3 in a row along the wall opposite my bed to display my records and the 8 white picture frames that i got at Target 2 for $1 months ago, which have been sitting in a bag ever since. i may shop around elsewhere, but West Elm wants $34 a shelf instead of $8. i think i’m just going to accept defeat on this one.
my life is incomplete without you!
