After months of trying to find library bookcases at a reasonable price and high enough to cover my alcove between living and dining room, I have succeeded! I found the perfect ones on Wayfair a while back, but they have been out of stock for months. A couple of nights ago, I was excited to see them back in stock, but even better were more appropriate sizes from the same company. My other issue has been the fact that I have run out of pennies, so last night I increased my car loan, just enough to get the bookcases, a carpet for the dining room, ceiling lights for both rooms and a sideboard for the corridor. This means I will be able to unpack all of the rest of my boxes!!! Yes, I could have saved up, but time is not on my side at my age and I would rather be unpacked now, rather than in five years time.
I have ordered four bookcases for the living room and four (same style/brand) with a double cupboard at the bottom for the dining room (all back to back, either side of the alcove) and they are flatpacked – oh dear, I will be insanely busy putting all those together! If I get stuck, I will ask my builder Alex, who put my office/studio ones together for me. The idea behind all of this, is also to seperate the two rooms to make it warmer, plus I needed furniture to put all my books etc in anyway. I knew I wanted to do this from the moment I saw the house. Everything has been at a stand still over the last months, so pleased to finally be getting everything sorted. Off to the carpet shop to order the new carpet tomorrow!
