DIY Living Room Makeover

They’re like that jerk at work who argues with everyone.

We needed a change. I just didn’t think that change would come on Thanksgiving morning.

So I did what I do best in situations like these: I pouted. I really didn’t want to carry those boxes inside and build that monstrosity. Not yet, at least. I mean, I did want to, in theory. Just not that day. That’s reasonable, right?

Of course, that meant that within five minutes, I was out in the garage, grumbling and kicking things out of the way and then yelling for Handan’s help. With the aid of a dolly, we managed to get those 4 boxes inside the house, despite the protestations of my palpitating heart. When we opened the boxes, my spirits lifted.

There weren’t too many pieces! Building would be pretty easy. We got to it. In a matter of minutes (okay maybe tens of minutes), we had the scaffolding up and running. While most of America was busy staring at birds roasting in their ovens, Handan was climbing the scaffolding. When the nation sat down at its feasting table to cram turkey down its neck, Handan was busy painting.
