Uh oh. We bought more furniture

This has a bit of a background story. Here we go - many months ago we hired a removalist company to send all our much loved goods interstate. Upon entering our new home for the first time we found all our newly deposited property strewn about the house in the most horrendous fashion. It was so terrible that I initially thought we had been robbed and simply broke into tears immediately. I was inconsolable. Our record player (which we had purchased only 6 months previously and driven 2 days to collect) was laying on its side. Boxes were ripped open and almost all our vintage furniture had been scuffed, gouged or sliced. What was meant to be a happy and exciting moment had been utterly ruined by this company. 

Our 1963 record player was such a great find that we were devastated to think we wouldn't be able to get it fixed however after much searching we finally found someone to restore it (which I will take a photo of once its been delivered back to us in 2 days- yay!). The man we found is literally one of a kind and managed to fix our record player for a quarter of the price we were initially quoted in Melbourne (before the incident above and further damage was inflicted). In celebration of our returning record player we have found a matching piece of furniture to compliment it - this wicked record cabinet. And look how much more room there is to fill - yes we will now focus all our time (and money) on growing our record collection and believe me - this fills us with immense joy!

By the way the removalist company was called 'The removalist Professionals'. Avoid this organisation like its the plague!
