I had an idea of what I wanted and I sketched it out in the car on the way to Ikea. We picked up a bunch of stuff from the wonderful land of AS-IS and went to town. We spent a total of $68.04 (plus tax) and used up a lot of stuff that we had in the basement.
Mr. Lemon did all the building and I provided emotional support and detailing.
Many more photos in my flickr set. The descriptions and comments have more information as well.
