Three configurations and four price classes make for twelve calculations. So pretty!
I opted to do this instead of make dinner. I used colours. There was mental arithmetic. There was even an educational moment when I taught Jack how to use a ruler and draw to scale. Oh man, it was excellent.
I think we're going to go with the green option, but in off-white. Not quite sure which doors yet. It was so worth phoning pizza for.

(In case anyone is crazy enough (as I would be) to check my maths: there are two sets of bookcases in that room, so all amounts were multiplied by two. Just because I know some of you out there are as far gone as I am.)

And finally I want to thank you all for making me laugh and feel virtually hugged last night. I was feeling CRAP and you made it all so much better. I send you all a virtual hug back, but a different one. Not the one you gave me, thrown back in your face, because that wouldn't be very nice now, would it? A fresh and sanitary one, especially for you. Thank you.

I would take a hug, sanitary or not. And I confess to not even having looked at the drawings; the numbers confised me so I skimmed. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd go for the green version too. Not sure I'd be quite so happy about the maths homework that involved though! Good to hear you're feeling more your perky self today.
ReplyDelete@Kori - I never meant for anyone to read the maths. I'm not that crazy. :-) They were always for skimming. And consider yourself hugged. Hard.
ReplyDelete@Victoria - I love maths homework!
You and me are gonna get on JUST FINE!!! Love it :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think (even for school homework) I ever created something so mathematically meticulous (m2)! Good job.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree with the green. The pink ones are too plain and the blue ones have got too much going on.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! And so pretty! And great teaching! Wow. Score.
ReplyDeleteWhy are you putting your books behind doors?
ReplyDeleteJust asking :)
Unquestionably the green one is best. Big enough at the bottom to be useful, nice room in the middle. Marvellous.
ReplyDeleteBut what handles/door knobs are you going to use? I ask because I still haven't decided on a very similar looking set of cupboards in our bedroom. Six months on, no handles. Lots of nice sticky paw prints all over the paintwork though. Takes some doing to open a cupboard door that doesn't have anything to open it with.
ReplyDeleteWell, obviously the brain is still working very well and as a teacher I am sure u will tell me that wasn't gramatically correct with the two 'well''s in the same sentence, not sure I spelt everything correctly either, no spell check on blogs....dammit.

Wow. Such attention to detail. My homework was never that good. Glad you're feeling better. Here's another virtual hug anyway. *hug*
ReplyDeleteDef. the green, but I am surprised you didn't pose us the question: If it takes 2 fully-trained carpenters 3 hours to construct 4 of these cupboards, how long will it take a full-time mother with 3 children, 1 allen key, and a bit of an internet habit?
ReplyDeleteGlad you feel better too.
the green was going to be my vote too.
ReplyDelete@Rhi - Good. Very good.
ReplyDelete@Lady Mama - Thank you. I was rather good at homework. Because I loved it.
@Megan - I think so too.
@Jo - I know! I was on a roll!
@Countess - Because I already feel bad enough that I don't have another space for it in the house. The other two children have children only bedrooms. This one will have all our books and some other crap behind those doors which he's not even allowed to touch. So... doors are rather necessary. That will at least make his room look pretty. Actually, it's a pretty good size and I've decided to put all kinds of toys and toy boxes right in front of the bookcases so he'll probably hardly even notice. Yes, he'll probably not mind.
@Sally - Cool. So nice to have everyone agreeing. That makes my decision so much firmer. I won't think about it again. Green it is.
@angelsandurchinsblog - Oh oh oh that is another problem. I think I was waiting to make the decision on the doors first, because larger doors need larger handles, and smaller doors need smaller ones. Maybe writing that comment will motivate you to get some as well.
@Sandi - I'm not that kind of a teacher. :-) I can switch off the teacher mode when I'm not in a classroom.
@rosiescribble - Thank you! And here's another one for you. *hug*
@fiona - That made me laugh. A lot.
@Maggie May - Excellent. Sorted. The green one it is.
Oh fun, you're a good drawer!
ReplyDeleteI like the pink one, because it's pink.
I bet you are an ace teacher.
Your kids are so lucky.
I like the green one the best! And, for me, nearly everything is more important than cooking dinner!
