Well you see my brother was home for Christmas break and he decided to re-arrange his bedroom the minute he got home; and I mean the MINUTE he came home. I even posted this on Instagram:
. . .
Just in case you needed a refresher on what my brothers room looked like before he turned it into this mass chaos. These pictures are right after i painted his room and before i moved furniture in/out.
{and from the post man cave}
These are after i moved in his furniture and hung up some pictures:
. . .
Well lets get to the whole point of this post. 🙂
Do you see the dresser in the third picture?
Well that is a piece that has been in our family for a while and it has always been one of Bo’s dressers. While he was moving his room around i heard a ::THUD:: and then bo sulked down the hallway and here was our conversation:
Bo: I think i broke it…
Me: ummm…..broke what?
Bo: Well, do you have wood glue?
Me: You’re avoiding the question.
Bo: Maybe you could help me slide it back together…
Me: {at this point i get off my bed and start walking down the hall} What did you break?
Bo: The dresser
Me: HOW?
Bo: It was too heavy and it pulled apart.
Me: Didn’t i tell you to take the drawers out?
Bo: …
Me: It was ‘too much work’ wasn’t it? You didn’t want to take out the drawers?!
Bo: SO WHAT!!!!!! HELP ME!!!
We both started laughing, the dresser was completely ka-put.
So what does any sane person do?
Well smash it of course.
Duh…cause he’s a dude.
We couldn’t donate it (the main support of the piece of furniture was shattered), burn it (it had a veneer over it), or re-use it so Bo went next door and borrowed a sledge hammer and the fun began:
The best part?
Every slam sounded like a gunshot and people kept sticking their heads out of the door.
HILARIOUS.
I kept saying Oh great, someone is going to call the cops and they are going to show up to you demolishing a dresser in our front yard and we’re going to be put on a redneck reality show.
. . .
Well since Bo has left for college i decided to finish picking up his room {ugh boys} and took some pictures of how he’s re-arranged it. We still have a few more pictures to hang up, build his head board, replace his fan, hang curtains and a few more things. 🙂
My verdict: I like it!
I think this layout is much better and his space is being used more wisely.
You might also noticed that he got rid of some furniture, the white dresser/side table and the dresser he smashed, the mirror came down (and he doesnt’ want it back up).
And you’re welcome, that was a TON of pictures!
That looks like SO much fun! At that point it's too late to get upset anyway, so you may as well make light of the situation! 🙂
I love that zebra print blanket, by the way!
what a boy. hahaha so fun though!
bahaha love that his shoe fell off. 🙂
I loooove rearranging and purging bedrooms! No joke, when I am in the mood to clean it's my favorite thing to do. His room looks so much better 🙂
It's not even my dresser and I feel like crying. lol….Glad you guys had fun smashing and shocking all the neighbors!
Way to be such an awesome sister. The room looks awesome! Can't wait to see the finishing touches. 🙂
This is hilarious.
I have an old dresser that I could definitely do the same thing to.
If only I had a sledgehammer!

hahahha yes. that is fantastic. I love how he went from being a little sheepish about the fact that he broke the dresser to total addmission of guilt and publicly demolishing it!
Done, ma'am! (:
Figured out how to fix the no reply blogger thing, and I'm following you!
Hope you're having a great day! And thanks for telling me how to fix it.
This is HILARIOUS. I love it. And i love your conversation… "you're avoiding the question". 🙂 LOL. Love it. And love his room! Looks great!
