Since we moved upstate, we’ve done a lot of work around the house, but most of our efforts have been focused on the living room. It’s where we spend most of our time, and it’s the room all our guests see whenever we have people over.
In the fall, we splurged and bought a new TV, a TV stand, and a new couch. This is what our living room currently looks like:
But this is only half the room. To the left of what you see above, there’s a wood stove and a big open area that, up until recently, we didn’t know what to do with. For the longest time, we were using it as storage. Anything that didn’t have a designated place in our house went into this part of the living room:
As you can, it was a mess. A few weeks ago, we finally got tired of living with this disaster, and took action. We bought seven 9 cube organizers from ClosetMaid, a 6 cube organizer, and a few fabric drawers in order to build this:
That’s a total of 69 cubes! As you can see, we still haven’t filled all of them.
While this whole project cost more than I would have liked, we now have a whole room dedicated to our comic books, DVDs, Blu-rays, action figures, and collectibles. What’s cooler than that? We’re really proud of this little corner in our house.
So what are those black bars in the lower-right corner of the above photo? Our new firewood rack.
Like the shelves, we haven’t filled it yet, but we’re working on it.
To tie everything together, here’s what you’d see while sitting on the couch:
And yes, that’s It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia on the TV.
Have you put a lot of work into a particular room in your house recently? What do you think of our cubed bookcase? Tell me all about it in the comments.
