Bookshelves

Remember this pile of books:


It now looks like this:


B and I decided to use our Christmas and birthday money from my parents to buy bookshelves. On Tuesday we scoped them out at IKEA (LOVE that I live close to an IKEA now) and on Wednesday B drove back with the car seats out of the car so he could lay down the backseat and fit all the bookshelves in the car. They are black-brown, not black like they look in the picture. We figured that we are going to have an eclectic display of bookshelves, so we shouldn't try to make them match. He and Buddy became experts at assembling bookshelves while we were in Ohio. They built three sets of bookshelves for B's parents. (Buddy apparently built the third one on his own with some help.) So B assembled these and dragged the boxes down from PS's room and we unloaded books. We still have 5-6 boxes of books that are mainly kids books that are too old for PS still, or textbooks, etc. We have a bookshelf in our bedroom that is for our pocket paperback books that we got all organized. Plus the big one from the original picture that was a wedding present from my brother and his wife. And we have three smaller bookshelves full of kid books. And one smaller bookshelves full of B's school books and reference books, etc.
