DVD Organization

This may not be a new idea to some of you, but it has been a great way to organize the hundreds of dvd's (I exagerate a little bit) that we have collected over the years. When we moved into this home we had to make some changes. The media console that we used in our old home was too big for the space that the builder put in the home. My husband was a bit disappointed that the 50" plasma was going upstairs in the playroom. Bummer! :) We swap it with the playroom tv armoire that fit perfectly in the little nook cut out by the builder.

Yes I have a three year old that likes to touch the tv...so just disregard the fingerprints...please!

When I was filling the baskets that usually accomodated the playroom armoire I soon figure out that we were going to be overflowing with dvds. And being the over organized person I am I just had to figure out a way to make these all fit and of course look good too. I was on a search, I knew I didn't want these and boy was I happy when I found these cute books found here.

We recycled the dvd cases and placed all of our dvd's in abc order...and being crazy about labels I simply created labels for all of the dvd's we owned and stuck them onto each slot so we would know where the dvd would go once it was taken out. Extra pages were purchased so we could add to our collection if we wanted too....like Toy Story 3 of course!
The really nice thing now is that all those baskets you see in my armoire are virtually empty. One holds all the tv remotes and another holds Wii controllers and games. No more rummaging through each basket to find the dvd we want to watch. Organization makes me happy!
