I had been talking with my wife about long term organizational plans... The bookshelves in the library are 30 year old, bending, crappy plywood that need to be replaced, and my plan was:

  1. Clean out the back bedroom.

  2. Get new bookshelves for the library that are taller, wider, and will add over 200 linear inches of shelf space.

Current library:

collapsed inline media

  1. Figure out how many of the old bookshelves can be moved into the back bedroom (four! four bookshelves! Ah ha ha! Maybe 5 if I get super lucky.)

  2. Put the empties in the back bedroom for more DVD storage, then fix the wall they sit in front of because I hate that wall treatment (long story).

Ugly ass-wall:

collapsed inline media

(It was like that when we bought the house, loved the house, HATED that wall. I need to pull down the plywood slats and re-paint to get rid their janky ass-wainscoting.)

https://xkcd.com/37/

  1. Put together the new racks and re-assemble the library.

All told, a lot of work. My plan was to do all this a little at a time over a period of months.

WELL... Our kid asked my wife what he should get for Christmas.

Turns out... 5 new bookshelves show up TOMORROW.

I can't be mad... it's a gift. But holy hell... I wasn't ready to start the project TOMORROW.

I need to figure out what to do with the top of the wall that sticks up above the bookshelves, lots of options, but my wife has veto power. πŸ˜‰

Left to my own devices? TARDIS wall. LOL.

Why are none of your options more bookshelves?

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

There's an 10" gap between the bookshelves and the ceiling I'm trying to do something with. πŸ˜‰

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Display case? Add more wood to the bookshelf and maybe a plexiglass or polycarbonate clear door to keep out dust, some soft led lighting, and show off neat stuff up there.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

That's not a bad idea. I'll need to measure the space once the shelves go up to get a better idea. Thanks!

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 2 points 1 day ago

Sounds like a good spot for 10" tall books!

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Wow. Great choices! Would the TARDIS wall also include LED lighting behind each circle? Because as much of a pain in the ass as that would it, it’d also be like bow ties.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I dunno if they're transparent enough for that, would be worth looking into.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I was thinking around the outer edge of whatever separates the circle from the wall, so the illumination comes from behind.

Edit: on a second look, I might’ve been mistaken.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah, the pattern makes it intentionally hard to tell. It's a vacuum formed plastic square with 4 circles.
