Moving back to England means a new house, and English style bedrooms = no fitted wardrobes. Whilst she is currently using Myles' old wardrobe (which was a project 4 years ago) its well travelled and well worn, and her change unit is becoming surplus to requirement and not giving the storage we actually need.
Looking around at new furniture that would all match, I realised just how expensive it was going to be, and whilst I would have no objection if I knew this furniture was going to last a good 10 years, we are renting and cannot be certain anything would fit into a new house if / when we move.
Becoming a little stalker like I watched gumtree everyday (the local version of craigslist) waiting for something to come up. Finally after a lot of rubbish was being sold, a matching pine wardrobe and chest of drawers came up at a bargain price.
We already have a nightstand so im looking to colour match the paint and make everything coordinate. Its not quite the same working in the garage in February here in England as it was in California but Im loving it nonetheless!
