In an effort to help declutter my life and my little unit, I finally got a bookcase last weekend!!! A momentous occasion - I'd been wanting to do it for a while but, as often happens to me, just hadn't gotten around to it. The previous weekend I'd cased out Ikea and chosen what I wanted, but too stingy to pay the $50 delivery charge, my wonderful parents came to the rescue and helped me get it home last weekend.
My mum and I then tackled the assembly on Monday. I'm sure it was a simple job. At least it seemed like it could have been a simple job. We eventually got there...with some perserverence, chai latte and a few bruises (oh, and the rubber mallet helped immensely!!!). Thanks Mummy darling for helping me! Literally, couldn't have done it without you :-) I'm loving the calm presence it now brings to the unit and it has inspired me to declutter other areas. It has also inspired me to read the books I have!!!

| Instructions...simple (?!?). |
 |
| Screw/bolt things...check. |
 |
| Wall hangy bracket things...er...check. |
 |
| Wooden dowel...check. |
 |
| The absolute saviour of the day. No flat pack installation event should be complete without one. |
 |
| This was me being all handy... |
 |
| In progress....was so exciting to see it coming together...initially I was worried it would look quite empty... |
 |
| But really, need not have worried...I've already filled it! I own a lot of books... now the daunting task, to read them all!!! Quite excited actually but wondering where I"m going to find those few extra hours in the day... |
