Day 167: IKEA bookshelves are simple and convenient (and all Fight Club snark aside, I really don’t mind the IKEA aesthetic), but I really do wish the shelf spacing was tighter, or that they were more adjustable. Hardbacks have a good four inches of wasted space above them, and there’s nearly room to get two rows of paperbacks for every single row that these allow. I occasionally daydream about finding the time to replace these with custom-built shelves. Properly done, I could probably increase my book storage in this room by at least 50%, possibly more.
