      My bonus went to getting storage space. We use the second living room (we use the so-called family room as our living room – these new house layouts are a bit redundant) as our offices. To cut the room in 2 spaces (his and hers 😀 ), I got the Billy bookcases at Ikea. They were delivered today and I’m in the process of putting them up. Yup, I’m the Ikea engineer! Of course, for my side, I planned nice display space… I’ll take pics when I’m done!

          Sweet. I am waiting for the Ikea to be built here. It should be done by the end of spring I am hoping and then I get to purchase shelves.

              Black on the ends, with doors, and beech in the middle. The darker Windstone should look great on there.

                Oh cool! My (small) library is in progress now, we’re working on shelves built into the walls and then it will be done. I oughta put up some before and after pics when it’s done. Would love to see your pics too. Does anyone out there have suggestions on track lighting (for the underside of a bookshelf)?

                How cool!
                I have only been to one ikea in pittsburgh, and it was so fun, really could have been $$$ haha.

                Can’t wait to see the pix!!!

                when i first moved into this area, the two closest ikeas were an hour away each. it was a wonderful treat to drive to either and get the frozen yogurt–as well as wonder through the whole store! now there is one a few miles away and it is not much of a treat.

                an ikean tip: go to the as is section early in the morning and before the weekend, they have more stuff there.

                  very nice to get all the Windstones on display and see them all. I can’t wait to see the pics

                  They also have these really cool wall lamps that look like torches from a castle, that have a Flame light. It can stay on or flicker. they only run about 14.99. Look in the kids section.

                      I gave up last night at about 9:30 and finished this morning.

                      Here’s my side


                      I reorganized everyone

                      The newest addition

                      And a brand new glass cabinet!

                      The dog isn’t a stuffed animal 😀

                      General view, taken from the stairs.

                      I’ve been bent over this so much, I discovered I have muscles in the back of my legs.
