Tuesday Project Roundup: Flat Pack Rodeo

How about some furniture instead of fabric this week? I decided it was time to upgrade my bedroom dresser to something bigger. Here's the setup before:

Many, many thanks to my dad for pickup, delivery, and assembly over the course of four hours. As the IKEA instructions tell us, one person assembling this is a frowny face. But two people is a great big smile!
