Let me start with the fact that we really don't have too much in the way of furniture.
We have the basics and that's about it.
We never really had money and we never really saw the need to spend money on things.
But, since I am home all day, I thought I would work on our house piece by piece.
A while back, I made my own vanity station to help organize all my bathroom stuff and clear up some clutter.
See the post here:

This weekend, I grabbed some nightstands at Ikea and put them together.
I think they look lovely.
They were simple to put together (even though the directions looked very daunting when I first opened them). The first one took me about 45 minutes, but the second one only took about 20 minutes.
My hubby and I have this going joke.
Everything I have ever put together has fallen apart.
I put together the vanity table and now these nightstands.
My hubby has bets to see how long it takes for them to fall apart.
I hope that doesn't happen.
In addition to the nightstands, I was going to make my own canopy bed out of PVC pipe and homemade curtains. However, my hubby was opposed. I think he doesn't want it to look too girly in our room.
We shall see if I win the debate with my hubby to make it happen....
Here is a link for an idea of what I was going to do:
