We had a great event down in Fort Lauderdale even though it was freezing and wet but as always I was thrilled to come home especially so I could spend a few days with Justin before he hits the road for three weeks bouncing from Utah, Colorado and what seems like everything in-between. The only good thing that comes from Jus being gone [he may disagree] is that I have tons of time and space to work on projects. I've already starting compiling a list that includes painting the hall, coming up with a solution for the dining room, finishing a dresser project and continuing my purge of messy corners that seem to fill the house.
Yesterday I tackled one such messy corner - our media storage. We are not huge dvd collectors but we have enough that they seemed to be taking over the lower portion of our hutch. For $5 and 30 minutes of time we now have a slimmed down storage solution for all of those dvd's.
I purchased this box of dvd sleeves at Target, I opted for the plastic ones but they come in paper and a bunch of different colors. Next it was easy as going through and transferring the dvds from their original case to a sleeve.
So what was originally this mess now fits neatly in one small box (you'll notice I also have a bunch of cd's in there as well. You'll also notice that I left my Gilmore Girl collection in their original cases since there are so many discs in each season.)
This worked well for us because we have less than 50 dvds so its still easy to find what we're looking for. But for those of you with large collections you could easily transfer them to a cd book for easier look-up.
One messy corner done - only 8 million more to go.

The plastic sleeves are a good idea, I suppose, but I like having the jewel cases. I'm just crazy like that, though.
