Figured we should update on some of our unpacking.
We have books. A lot of books.
In the study, we are going to have four new bookcases with glass doors to hold the majority of our books.
But we still have four more bookcases we had (one at the apartment and three at the old farmhouse) and so we are going to use those around the house.
In the master bedroom, we decided to put one on each side of the window, with the desk in between under the window itself.
Here is one of them. We moved them into the room. That was the easy part. Then we needed to move one huge load of books.
These books have been in the back of 2nd Man's Jeep since we moved in. It was time to get them moved. When we moved them from the apartment to the car, we used one of those valet carts that the apartment had and it was pretty good but it took quite a few trips (these books are three, four and five deep, ha).
I had to think outside the box (no pun intended).
This was a a shipping crate/box that I found a few years ago in the trash to treasure area. I put in the barn thinking "I might be able to use this for something".
This was another find that I saved after it was discarded. It was probably used to move appliances or something else heavy. I figured I might could use it someday as well.
That someday was last weekend!
Our own movable cart! We loaded the books from the car into the box and rolled them into the bedroom and loaded them into the bookcase. It was four trips total to get the car empty.
So clever to put the two trash-treasures together to make something really needed and useful! The bookcases beside the window is a perfect place for them.
