Moving mania

So I'm in the process of moving out of my parents house, a very comfortable mansionesque place, and into my own little room/hovel in the basement of a town house a stones throw away. Maybe it just going through change but I keep getting these little bursts of panic thinking things like... "I have too much stuff and it's not going to fit! I can't take all of my books with me... I have no furniture besides my bed and desk... I need to buy a clothing rack... Can I get a wardrobe, two dressers, a 13" wide cabinet, and a tv unit for under $20? I have to rummage through storage to find my crock pot..."

I got to thinking last night about my furniture situation. Here is the thing, my room doesn't have a closet so I think I'll use ikea to solve that one. I like their cheap chic ways. And, as far as the tv unit goes I'm going to make one out of cardboard. Seriously. I think I can do it in a day. I'm drawing up plans this afternoon and will go on the cardboard and glue hunt later today to start. I have a concern, though, about making a cardboard Entertainment centre/shelving unit... will it actually look good or ghetto? There is only one way to find out my friends.

There is only one way to find out.

Update August 14- who is kidding who? I'm not going to be able to make a trustworthy tvunit out of cardboard in one day. Televisions are heavy. That kind of project takes time, research, and engineering. It also takes a lot of time with an olfa knife and glue. It was genius at the time though.

Wow, that cardboard unit in the link is really impressive!
You're going to have to update me on your address when you move so that I can send you snail mail :)
Love you so much!!
