We have been busy assembling Ikea furniture. I meant to take a 'before' photo of all the pieces on the ground and then show us building it up but I started building before I started shooting and before I knew it I built most of it.

This is our front room. Leslie is planning on painting it (some vibrant colors) and we still need more furniture and a TV etc so this is a good 'before' shot. Notice our cardboard box TV stand (TV being my laptop for DVD's) and cardboard cofee table.

By the way - as you can probably tell this shot is a composite of two vertical shots. I didn't do it on the tripod and hand stitched them <quickly> in photoshop so they don't quite line up :)
