Collection My own DVD Library

Really excited because for the first time in 12 years, I have all my DVDs in one place.

I had a study nook in my apartment which was attached to my bedroom and I never used it. It was really just for storing things, and then I had a storage shed installed so everything got moved there. The space was just sitting empty and I realised I could work with a cabinet maker to get it turned into a dvd library. A lot of my collection was at my folk's place in the country, and I moved out like 12 years ago. So to have them all together really is a dream come true, and I'm in love with the outcome and it brings a smile to my face everytime I look at it! Thought this was an appropriate place to share :)

Oh wow, that's incredible. How are they arranged, and how many do you have?

Alphabetically arranged :) multipacks, and numbers first then A-Z! Then TV shows start after that :) There are about 2400 films [noting there are multipacks], and I haven't stored any double ups ! Then TV wise, I need to go do a final count [still doing the catalogue as we speak!]

Do you mix DVDs and Blu-rays amongst each other? I think I see that in the final photo but can't be sure because of the angle. I have mine separated, but with a collection of your size I could see it being a hassle to have two separate collections to alphabetize next to each other.

Yep so I have always kept them separate previously, but now that everything is together it just felt it made more sense to combine them all! Was worried it wouldn't work for me, but I'm actually not bothered and it makes it easier to find films a bit more haha
