Privé

We were sitting enjoying our morning cup of coffee, and I happened to ask Brian if he knew when the lock for the library door was due to be delivered. Then, as if by magic, we heard a car radio outside the front gate and someone started to ring our bell — it has such a beautiful clang.

Brian jumped up and sped to the gate, never wanting to leave them waiting too long. ‘Hoorah’ I exclaimed ‘how spooky is that?’

It arrived in an overly large box, which meant it had been nicely protected.

We had looked for a reclaimed one, but hadn’t managed to find exactly what we needed, so we eventually chose an antique style made in the UK. Having it shipped had incurred import taxes of around £20, which had to be paid before they would deliver. We need to have the library private, as it will also double up as our office.

It’s so beautifully made, and I think it will work really well with the styling in the library. I cant wait to see it fitted.
