White Wardrobes to fit all houses!!!

Just over a week ago my partner and I moved into our new home, a little two bedroom characterful cottage with oodles of charm and lots of opportunity for us to add our own personal touches. The whole process seems to have taken a very long time, and the prospect of moving from a ground floor one bedroom flat to a property with stairs was all just a little too exciting!
Moving day finally arrived, the sun was shining and all is well. My precious Manhattan Double Wardrobe (the very first piece of white bedroom furniture I purchased from New England Lifestyle) was very carefully carried out of the removal van, in through the front door, and then disaster struck… it just would not go up the stairs!!!!
How many times have I said to people “Have you measured your stairs to check for access?” And what was the one thing I didn’t do?!!!!
Thankfully the solution was simple. My once very precious Manhattan Double Wardrobe now has a happy new home in a friend’s house, and we are the very proud owners of a Manhattan Double Wardrobe with Drawers. How strange it is that moving into a little cottage with limited access has led to us being able to have the really big white wardrobe!!! My new wardrobe was delivered in four pieces, and there were no problems at all in manoeuvring the pieces round the corners and up the stairs.
And – to be totally honest – I was never that much of a fan of the Manhattan Double Wardrobe with Drawers. But as soon as I started to fill it up with clothes, I was instantly converted. It really does hold an amazing amount!!!! The dimensions are absolutely perfect for our room; the white wardrobe fits snugly into the recess next to the chimney breast.
At the other side we have our Manhattan Tall Chest, and the room is starting to take shape.
In a couple of weeks we will have the time to paint all the walls white, and then we can start adding a few new accessories, we can’t wait!!!
