Anyway, having spent the weekend tidying and reorganizing the living space a bit, I have just ordered this skinny console table to fit into an awkward, unused wall space with a light fitting in the middle of it. It’s crying out for a shelf but I’m not at all handy and know no one who is, so this will do. I’d have loved a shelf or a drawer but for my space everything else I saw was either too deep or too wide #goldilocks. This also suits the dark metal/white shelving thing I have going on elsewhere in the place so it should fit in.
I would really like a mirror to sit above it but something that big would require drilling and hanging and I’ve skills nor tools for either. I could really use a decent handyman/woman but there is no lack of work for the practically skilled in this town so getting people to do smaller jobs is tough. In next payday I have got a few other bits to order lined up - including the bench to go with my dining table that I’ve put off buying for 4 years
don’t tell S) I really want the matching teapot now 
it’s very lovely. 
but I’ve just ordered this with 15% off. It’s a bit of a gamble because it will take up quite a lot of space. Also it will be a devil to keep clean with cats around, but I really love it. It’s pale grey wool in case it’s not clear.
