New Library Setup

After going through all the movies, we needed someplace to store them in an efficient manner for getting at them easily. What better place to store a bunch of boxes than on the ol' loft! The loft had been moved into the library a while ago during the great garage reorg, but had not been put together. In my point of view, you can't just put the loft up. There must be much fanfare, cleaning, and redecorating to accompany the loft.

So, it began with moving the yellow shelf out of the library and bringing that downstairs to become the new movie & video game shelf. With the lean movie collection now, there is also plenty of room for all the fun knick-knacks we found while cleaning out the library closet! Once that shelf was out, the loft could go up and the other shelves could come in. The media racks became bookshelves, and the shelves that I had made for the movies joined the book club. We got magazine holders so that it is easy to peruse our collections of Family Handyman, The Workbench, Popular Science, and Texas Wildlife. We even had one shelf left over to become an art showcase to keep the reader company in the new reading nook under the loft.

All that was left was to accessorize the room. What better way than with more of Lady's artwork! Ta-Da! A brand new library which is now inviting, and comfortable, to curl up in with a good book.

(The new reading nook is as comfy as it looks!)
