Wishes do come true

Adelaide has been desperate for a bookcase 'of her very own'. I wanted something wide enough that she could use the top to house her dolls house as well - and nothing seemed quite the thing - until I found a half-height extra wide bookcase on EBAY.

Bought it for next to nothing, and in the next week or so Sean will paint it white. In the meantime, though, here it is in pride of place in her room - ready to surprise her when she gets home from Grandma's this afternoon!

The new bookcase in Adelaide's room

Will paint it white and add some
baskets to store her toys. 

<7/11/13 Update>  Need to come back and update on how little Miss reacted to the new bookcase. Well - after being led to her room for a 'surprise' Adelaide ran screaming up and down the hallway thanking Mumma and Dadda for her 'very own special boo'case!!!'. Numerous cuddles and kissies of legs (interrupted by running back to her room and re-checking the surprise) ensued :D

A few initial books were provided by her beloved Grandma. An entire bookcase has now been furnished with lovely books - and the top with her dolls house. Still not painted. It will be - but it's a particularly busy period at home right now.

But it pleases me our lovely girl has a space for her books and treasures <3
