The Tidy Books story began with 3 year old Adele who, one day, couldn’t find her favorite book on the shelf. When she pulled all her books off the shelf to find that special one, her mom, Geraldine suddenly understood that Adele needed a better bookcase. You might be surprised, but good bookcases for kids did not exist in 2004. So, fuelled with coffee and a belief that bookcases made for kids should make sense to kids, Geraldine set to work late one night in her violin workshop. Adele loved the bookcase Geraldine created. It was charming and simple, and because it looked so different, the bookcase caused a bit of a stir. Geraldine’s friends began to ask, “Can you make me one?” And Geraldine swapped her violin making to set up the Tidy Books business, with just $1000. Geraldine’s belief; that designs for kids should be useful, practical and beautiful, is what lies behind her original Tidy Books creations. Since the first bookcase, the Tidy Books storage range has expanded to include the Bunk Bed Buddy, the Tidy Books Box and the Forget Me Not Memo Board. It’s Geraldine’s old-fashioned values which make the Tidy Books business different; doing business responsibly, with care for customers, quality, the producers and the earth. We use water lacquer finish which is better for the producers and the planet. Tidy Books products are designed to be heirlooms, not landfill. Whatever you choose from the Tidy Books range, you can be sure that it will be an investment for your family.
