Someday I’m going to replace my short bookshelves with tall bookshelves with the same footprint, hopefully eliminating a case or two of the warped particle board early marriage kind. When I do, this is what I’ll need to know:
We need 53 linear feet of bookshelves
9 feet of videos/DVDs
6.5 feet of cds
and the volume of my desk drawers are 5 cubic feet.
B helped me with measuring today. I ran my idea to my Mother in Law about our living room and study/workshop. We hang out in the workshop much more than in the living room. The cramped quarters make me irritated. Why not switch? DH liked the idea, but I thought it was a bit far out – even though it was my idea originally. BUT Mom-Mom likes it – so it can’t be too crazy!
Right now our living room is where we put guests as well as most of our books and the TV. If we moved the futon, TV, some books, and the mirror to this little bedroom, then when people visit, they could have a door, the front door would not open into their room, and they would have a closet. The TV could be stashed in the closet, and closed off for visiting.
Meanwhile, the big room would give me the space I currently don’t have to cut out pattern on the floor near where I’ll sew them, and everyone who hangs out while DH fixes their computer and install Linux will have room to breath, instead of being crammed in this little former bedroom.
Need photos to visualize!

I hope you don't mind my picking your brain a bit :) My dh is candidating for a church in MA so out of curiosity, I began looking at the laws in your state. I have to say they scared me to death! Was wondering if you could comment on the difficulty of hsing in MA? Is it as difficult as the laws make it sound? I would sure appreciate your imput! Thanks!
