The bookshelf from...the other place

We bought this lovely bookshelf when we lived in Italy. It has been taken apart only once, when we moved here, until now. Oh, it is a breeze to take apart. But you should be thankful that I'm not posting photos of us trying to put it back together. It has a very clever European system which locks all parts in place. Smooth, seamless. HOWEVER!!!! There is a problem when one tries to LIFT to lock in the bottom shelf all the while one pops "cookies" in from the back to the sides! We did it....EVENTUALLY! And we're still married. but it was not fun. and it took forever.

 So I could not help but take a picture of the thing all together and looking SO INNOCENT! With bags of games and puzzles waiting to get back in place.

 It's especially beautiful to see everything clean and tidy. Even the cat on the chair knew things were better! :)
