The part that I like the best is when we sit down in the cafe and eat gravadlax for lunch !! <br />I love what you have done with the bookshelves. The green looks great and the wallpaper, a stroke of genius...one thing though.....I wouldn't touch the Reisling anymore (well, not too much of it !!)

I adore the careful arranging of the books - we have the same taste, Babar in particular! And as for 'The Wishing Chair', ditto. We have two chapters left of 'The Magic Faraway Tree' to read tonight and 'The Wishing Chair' will soon follow.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02743336097657087832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141972872292928899.post-39373227531050195082010-09-01T09:43:58.692+10:002010-09-01T09:43:58.692+10:00I'm exactly the same in Ikea!

Your daughter must be so happy and lucky with a mom like you!<br />I have those same shelves, only wider and larger(higher) even(!!!) sitting in my living room. I want them gone but then they hold all the stuff I have no place for elsewhere(books, games, toys, stuff for the kids to do art projects,...) and they are practical for that but, I really want to get rid of them, I really, really, really do! I have no other room than the living room to put it and no, I do not feel like giving it a 'transformation'(that would mean I gave in and it could stay), I just want it to go!flowersandhomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02262453899981838266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141972872292928899.post-23235386415938289362010-09-01T09:17:28.475+10:002010-09-01T09:17:28.475+10:00Spectacular job... talk about dedication!

It is amazing that you can transform such an ordinary coloured piece, into something beautiful:) The roses wallpaper is gorgeous and as for the green, our 10 yr old daughter chose a similar shade for her bedroom walls...which we have now inherited:S I bet your daughter LOVES her new bookcase!!
