New shelves

I mentioned two Ikea trips – these are the shelves we bought on the first trip – the Billy shelf.billy-shelf

Rather dull, but with potential and big enough to give us plenty of space. We decided one wasn’t enough – we bought three! I also thought the plain white looked a bit dull, so thanks to some ideas from the Ikea Hacker website, we covered the cardboard backing with blue wall paper. Here is how it all went together:

For those of you with a straight eye – we eventually did get the shelf on the left in the final picture to stand straight. Imagine now if you can the the shelves are now full of books. Yes, between the two of us, we really do have that many books.
