Going up

Having prepared where we were going to put our new armoire, and Brian having finished all the preparation work on it, we made the several journeys up and down two flights of stairs to carry all the parts up to our top floor. This is where we have our bedroom. It’s a loft space, with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, bathroom, large landing (which doubles as a living area) and spare bedroom. It was the spare room where we were going to put the armoire.

Although we hadn’t seen it come apart, there were plenty of clues as to how it would go together. It was actually great fun working out how to put it back up, and in what order it all needed to happen. Brian had noticed a stamped number 4 on most of the parts, which told us what way up to put things. We didn’t quite work out any other relevance for it.

After just about 20 minutes, and a lot less trouble than an IKEA built wardrobe we once had, our shiny, old armoire was up and ready for clothes. How great is that? We love it!

I’m now on the look out for some more old hat boxes to go along the top.
