TRYING OUT FURNITURE

This evening I have been trying out a couple of piece's of my Sasha furniture to see what will suit or fit.

I bought this little unit a few years back and painted it this pale green, it was used a couple of  times in the
early days.
You can see that the raised detailed area at the top makes it too big to fit under the cupboard.

I could see that if I turned it , it would fit between the cupboard and the boiler.

Unfortunately this means the table area is too small to use! Also defeats the opening up of the space!.

"Well That did not work!" says Robin
"Mmm" mutters Mimi continuing to read her new book.

"Good book? " asks Robin
" Shh !" is the only reply he gets.

"What are you doing? " Robin asks Percy who's come to sit at the table.
"Making a plan"

Robin gets up to go and look. "What's your plan for? "
" A new bookcase"
"Really " say Robin impressed " Are you going to make it? "

" No I'm going to help Dad make it" replies Percy " Mum said she needed a book case and Dad said
Tell me what size and I'll make it"
" How does Mum do that!" ask Robin
"I have no idea but she must know when Dad's in a good mood!"
" I wonder if I ask him to make me something while he's in a good mood!" ponders Robin
"Why want do you need"
" I don't know !"

Mimi calls from across the room " You'd best measure our new books for these shelves, these Fancy Nancy books are bigger than Robin's Winnie the Pooh!"

Robin collect a couple of books and takes them to Percy.
" Yes these new books are a little bigger ! I'll need to factor that into the design " muses Percy

 Going back to the armchair Robin surprised to see that a desk and chair have appeared along with Callie!

"Mm not sure that's a good place for the desk " says Robin

"Yes " says Mimi " I think it's not the right place!"

"Well that's as may be But" says Callie picking up a pencil and beginning to doodle " I like being able to use the desk!"

" I think Mum's going to try it over where the table is but Percy was using the table so she placed it here for the moment" Callie tells them.

"This furniture arranging is quite hard really " sighs Mimi
" Yes I think it is" confirms Callie.

I just knew that green cupboard would be too big! Drat ! mind you I have wanted a bookcase for a while, so mentioned it to Paul late last night and he said he'd make me!! one if I gave him the sizes when I returned from work tonight! Well I wanted him to have made it by the time I got home! being impatient but since I had not left any measurements , not having time to do so before work plus I am sure it will take longer than a day
for it will need either staining or painting, it's still to be made.
I'm wondering if I dare add a side table or two to the bookcase or will I be pushing my luck??

I'll move the table and chairs out tomorrow and try another arrangement although I do like having that table where it is, so will see what happens tomorrow.

to be continued!!
