Library Room needs shelves....

 This is the library. It is a pumpkin orange color and white trim. YUCK. 

I was struggling with what to do with this room. I didn't even take pictures of it in its full glory with a shelf full of fish and remote controlled cars. I have a lot of books. I have a lot of stuff. I have this beautiful room with so much potential. 10 FOOT ceilings people. 10 foot. Unfortunately, one cannot find shelves of this magnitude. I have gone on Pinterest and found awesome inspiring ideas, but you have to have someone with wood working knowledge. I have that someone, but there is not enough money to buy enough beers to make him build shelves. I don't just want any shelves. I want cabinets and glass doors and TALL ones. Sigh.

Several months ago I found exactly what I wanted at IKEA, but they were out of stock everywhere. I even tried looking at the store in St. Louis and KS City. I drive through there enough I could justify buying them and making a trip! Thank goodness they were out of stock. No road trips for me. Well, as luck would have it, when I went online to find the shelves for my trip to IKEA they WERE IN STOCK. Sweetness.
