IKEA strikes again
Since my DVD, Video and CD collection is constantly expanding I felt the need to visit IKEA to buy some shelves and attempt to put them up!
I think I did quite a good job! What do you think?
Now that I have more space I also have a good excuse to buy some more DVDs.
Any suggestion of good films I should get??

I absolutely LOVE IKEA. Unfortunately, we don't have one close by. You did a wonderful job and that work area looks awesome. I'm jealous. One of my favorite movies, because I'm a kid at heart, is "Holes," written by Louis Sachar. Thanks for the mention.
I recognize the Ikea desk too. I was thinking of getting one just like it before I got this one, also from Ikea.
Count me in for the baby pics.
I love IKEA, and we have tons of "Billy" bookcases throughout out house.
BTW, you missed me on your list of participants for the baby/youth photos.
please count me in and it will follow on from my post today. I've given you a mention hope that's OK
Swampy - Thanks for the compliment and the film suggestion! I shall check it out!
Anvilcloud - Nice one, mate!
Aren't we just the D.I.Y. gurus (not to speak of the fact that we are also extremely handsome!). :-)
Heather - Thanks for the signing up, I have added you to the list!
Desert Songbird - How could I have possibly overlooked you???
(Beating himself over the head with medium-sized sticks).
My apologies! Have now added you and I am looking forward to lots of cute pictures!
I forgot to say I love your design. Ikea is brilliant I live about 2 miles from the Bristol one so its easy for us to pop in.
I am a huge IKEA fan as well, they just decided to build one in Charlotte (about 3 hours from me).
I am in for Monday...
If you want a movie you can watch more than once (the main reason I normally only buy music DVDs) get 'Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" starring Steve Martin, Judy Davis, and a host Stars on footage from old B&W movies.
We like Open Range, Mulan, and You've Got Mail.
You are very clever! I hate flatpacks!!!!!!!!!
Sally
Very nice! Are they still staying up on the wall? ;) You can come over and install some here :)
I'm an organizing freak and stopped on my way back from work today to buy more storage containers, LOL.

You did a great job! I need more space. The last DVD I bought was Pirates of the Caribbean 2 just to make sure there was plenty of Depp in the house. I used to collect more but.....I do collect Disney Classics, first on VHS, now on DVD and I buy my animated faves like Ice Age 2 so the kids have plenty of fun stuff to watch when they visit.
Looks like a very good and sturdy job - and a good excuse to get more DVD's and such. ec
Chrisb - Hey, we should come and visit you on our way to Devon (don't panic, I wouldn't do that to you :-) YET)
Amy W - My wife and I used to constantly fall out in IDEA because I hate crowds but now we have one at our door, we go at 9 o'clock at night and there is nobody there! GRREEAATT!!
Willowtree - Thanks for that! I will look into it! We do like Steve Martin.
Vicki - I have seen Mulan and You've got mail but not Open Range, so I will have a look at that.
Sally Lomax - You are very nice and I am not quite as clever as you might think :-)
Momto3cubs - Haha, yes you might well ask!! I don't know how but they are still up there!! I rock!!
Deana - Yes I got plenty of Depp and also both Ice Age DVDs. They are NOT for the kids but for us!! Yes, I know . . Kids at heart!!
Mreddie - Funny . . that is exactly what my wife said!! Oooh, you women are soooo suspicious!!
:-)
guess my grandkids didnt get to you yet or they would say Erik dont ask a NaNa what movie she likes!!!!she always says twister.see we are trying to make it in the record book.s well only our selves.I think we have watched that movie over 200 times if not more.the kids even went out and got me a copy so I wouldnt rick theirs.open range was a good one.gone with the wind.happy feet,return to me,always,perfect storm.I havent been to the movies in a long time.the passion of the christ.wish I could think of some the kids said were good.I love mouse hunt.love the shelves.wish you lived closer,Id have you put them up for me.you do good work.well God bless.
Your shelves look great!
I will be posting my Fun Monday photo today... I am at school tomorrow night and probably won't be able to hit the computer all day.
If I buy some shelves at Ikea would you hang them up for me? There is nothing that equals the frustration of putting together what they pack in those evil flat boxes.
Love your space and shelves, very beautiful! About the suggestion of good films, please, take a look on my post about the movies I could watch over and over:
