Well Leslie finally bullied me into buying shelves. I think it was sort of a quid pro quo. So the pile of books that have lived in our kitchen is now gone. There is an entire wall we have never seen before 🙂

A busy trip to Ikea, hundreds of hard-earned dollars and several knee wrecking hours later we had a bunch of shelves set up in the basement. We went for the deep Kallax units and angled them perpendicular to the wall so we could use both sides. 2 4 x 4 units with a 1 x 4 unit on top as well as two lower 2 x 2 units to act as a table and some spare shelves. You would have seen the Instagram image from a couple of days ago. I will likely have to make one more trip to Ikea for another unit or two but they are all down stairs now. Oh, my aching thighs…
