We have this space in our living room that is awkward. It is small, about 30 inches and next to our bedroom door. It just seemed like wasted space. So I decided to make a bookshelf area out of it. I thought about what kind - homemade, bought, etc.. I finally decided on a bookshelf I have been wanting for a while now. It is the kind with a cabinet on the bottom. I have always wanted one like this because I don't like books down near the floor. I don't know why, just a thing I have. Don't worry, it runs in the family. Not wanting stuff near the floor...but the "thing". Okay, onward. Brand new these kind of bookshelves start at $140 and go up to $300!! That is crazy! For a bookshelf!? I won't pay that, I don't know who would! Anywho, I started looking at thrift stores, yard sales and what not. It has been a long search but I finally found one! It was in the next county but I didn't care. It was a 40-45 minute drive on the interstate to get there to pick it up. But it was worth it at only 50 bucks!! Plus this one has a back light! Yea!! Alright, here it is in it's new home....our home (haha). If you notice, it is slightly bigger than the 30 inches (so don't look). We don't care.....we love it!!
