It's arrived!

Yay! My long awaited bookcase has arrived!  We took possession of this lovely piece of furniture late Friday afternoon.  It came from my lovely Mum, who dabbles in the antiques trade, and she had this bookcase for displaying her items.  But when she said she no longer required it, I jumped at the chance to take ownership!  Oh and it is GoRgEoUs!  Painted in Farrow and Ball's French Grey it fits perfectly in our pale green living room.

So here she (don't know why its a she, but there you go) was on Friday all empty, awaiting an adorning of books, nicknack's and of course, bunting.

So, as it was still raining yesterday, I spent a lot of time sorting through cupboards, collecting together books, cleaning and dusting and arranging until.....................

Ah, I'm so pleased with the result (sorry it's a bit small but the camera died this morning and this is off my phone and won't enlarge for some reason).  Now I can find books without having to take everything out of the cupboard and there's still some room to display pretty treasures too.  Might have to take a little trip to the charity shops to see if there are any more treasures to be had :)

It's still raining today and feels more like mid-winter than spring, but there is promise of sunshine tomorrow so fingers crossed that we can get out.  Little Miss, I think I can say, is potty trained! whoop whoop! She has done so so well.

Hope it's not too damp in your part. Enjoy the rest of your weekend....
