1) Add Bookcase lighting
2) Build a Library Ladder
3) Get more storage for unsightly clutter to be placed at the bottom
shelves
4) Upgrade ( meaning spruce it up) the old office bookcase
5) Find the right rug
6) Find the right table/floor lamp for the desk area
7) Fix the gaps in between the bookshelves lattices
Well, we got 2 things done already!
Here is the first one - #7 DONE!

| AFTER |
I know, this change is not that obvious. But because we just overlapped the lattices on top of each other (cutting them one by one would be a real pain), we had this huge gap in between the overlaps to deal with. To fill the gaps, we used plain white Foam boards since it is much easier to cut and measure this material than real wood. And besides we were only filling up gaps right?!
Then we took care of #1..

Now we only have these to deal with...

You guys helped me a lot for #5 about finding the right rug. I will show you my choice as soon as I can. :-)
Have a Wonderful Day!
Vel - that looks FANTASTIC. Great upgrades and those lights really make the space!
ReplyDeleteI love the lights. Great choice Vel!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mommy G!!! Its relatively cheap too compared to others we looked at online. :-)
DeleteVel, the lights look fantastic. I love your selection. I can also appreciate how you must love the fact that the gaps are now gone. That kind of thing bothers me too.
ReplyDeleteThe lights look great. How'd you mount them?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the tip on the light.
