Finally...bookshelves After 14 months in our new house, and about 12 months of my wife asking...we finally have some bookshelves for our books. My original plan was to build some floor to ceiling bookshelves similar to the ones we had at our old house. Instead, we chose something very un-agrarian, the center piece of modernity...IKEA. Let me just say that I was very impressed. I have put together plenty of pieces of "assembled furniture", but these bookshelves actually went together with no problems.

I found out that the key to getting a deal from Ikea is to buy the white furniture, as it is about 25% less than the other colors. It was nice to finally have all our old friends back out on the shelves, and it actually cleared up quite a bit of space in our garage. Here are some pics:
