Last summer, the dude and I bought a full bed set from Ikea. We opted for the Hoppen dark wood collection because it caught all six of our eyes (b/c I wear glasses and all.) We loved the way they looked after they were set up...until we put clothes in them and saw that you could see EVERYTHING. No matter how neatly you folded your clothes, it always looked sloppy. We knew eventually we'd probably want a nicer bed room set but being as we have a budget and all, we racked our brains for a solution. I first thought of frosting paper that is used on windows but the cost and effort in that was too great to convince us it was a worth endeavor. Eventually I thought of a quick, inexpensive trick - perhaps we could take poster paper, cut it, and then adhere it inside the drawer with two sided foam mounters? This way trying to fix the problem wouldn't break the bank and if/when we do eventually well the set, we could simply remove the poster paper without damaging it. And, low and beyond my gamble worked! It cost me all of $18 and my opinion it's a MAJOR improvement! Hell it doesn't look cheap or retarded or anything like that - it actually looks like it came that way!

This was taken at the after wedding brunch in Chestnut Hill. I was weathering on 11 hours of sleep in two days and it's all over my face in this picture. All in all it was a crazy couple of days but admittedly one of the more enjoyable weddings I have been to.
