I can't remember not having this bookcase - not too sure if a bit of orange paint on the back of it was from my bedroom in Leamington, 40+ years ago, or from our living room in Edward Avenue! I've always been a bookworm - so my bookcase has gone everywhere with me - but it has languished in the conservatory, empty, for a couple of years whilst we tried to work out where it should live.
It now fits in the dining room - but not the colour so it's been painted. The tiles on top were the only thing we liked in the kitchen here - guessing early 80s - that I'd kept aside for reuse.
Tiles turned out to be annoyingly delicate, but Phil managed to get enough to work.
It now fits visually - and I'm so pleased we found a home for both the bookcase and the tiles.
Finished off with our travel books - and 2 vases acquired from Jacki & Paul's wedding.
