Bookshelves.

I think it was.. Tuesday maybe, Fredrik emptied the bookshelves and we put in the new bookshelf. Annoyingly, it is a little lighter than the other ones, even though they are the same color, because it is unweathered. So it will take awhile for it to be the same color as the others. And we need to get a longer extension for the light. We bought these bookshelves... almost 5 years ago from IKEA, and they have none of the same pieces.. :/ Only the 80cm was the same. We also have 60cm, which they don't sell any longer, now they have 40cm. And the top lights aren't sold anymore, so we couldn't get one for the new bookshelf. Sorta annoying.







We have the top shelf, just haven't put it up yet.. :P
Yesterday I took "a few minutes" and put some things back on the shelves. :)





Looks good. :) Not finished, but much better. Might try to get some baskets from IKEA that should fit in the shelves to put my yarn in. I don't really have anywhere to store it. Right now it is in boxes in the cellar, which isn't exactly the best place for it. Behind the doors is where we used to keep DVDs, which was not enough space. Now we have our financial folders in there, well hidden, because they aren't so attractive. We also need to get a couple more bookshelves. And we want to get some... magazine organizers to put all our Hus och Hem magazines in. (House and Home - it is the only magazine subscription we have, but we really like it.)

It will be awhile before we can get the rest of the things we need, bookshelves, etc.. Even though we are close to an IKEA, it is still far away. Especially considering we don't want to go on a weekend, because it is just TOO crowded. And it is too far to drive there for an afternoon. So, we'll see when we get the extra things we need.. :/ :)

I really love wall to floor shelving/entertainment units. We have a big TV/entertainment center and I love it. It looks very nice and useful.
