we're currently living in an old house - stone flag floors, low ceilings, beams and wonky walls. but in 2 years we are likely going to be in a Victorian that has a reasonably modern syle about it....so...we either need something that would suit both or something very cheap.
the girls are 6 and 8 so their stuff is lots of crafty type things, games in boxes, an inordinate amount of teddy bears and rather a lot of trinkety ornamenty type shit stuff. it would need to go in a spare bedroom-come-play room. I am thinking we need shelves (but preferably not open ones) rather than those buckety type things. any ideas?
