I must have first spotted this sideboard in Emmaus a couple of weeks ago. It can't have been last weekend because I was away in Oxford. Whatever, it has been gently niggling at me ever since I first saw it. No I have no need for it. Yes I am short enough of space as it is, but I couldn't get it out of my head. So today I thought I would go and have another looksee. There it still was, beautiful and unsold, and actually a rather more useful size than I had remembered. I took some critical dimensions, came home, stroked my chin for a bit and then thought Sod it! Have to have it. One way or another I will make it work, and so I returned to Emmaus to seal the deal. Delivery options were inconvenient to say the least and so I asked if they had a sack-barrow I could borrow, at which point it was decided that they could have it round to mine in 45 minutes. Hurrah!

But I really must stop collecting beautiful furniture.

This may well not be its final location as it prevents my full-length mirror from being used full length. But it will suffice for the time being.
