I'm still very visual, and didn't want to get rid of the cover art, but we did opt for the slim (but full height) DVD cases, and trimmed the cover art to fit. Cut down our space by half.

Love the credenza.. need some more photos of the new loft!

I think this is a very clever and useful way to consolidate space consumed by an extensive DVD or even CD library.

Like some of the (overzealous) posters, I too am visual, and enjoy the covers as much as anyone. So I probably wouldn't consolidate in this fashion unless I needed to recoup the space.

I also like to resell my DVDs, but one could certainly consolidate this way, and still keep the dvd jacket covers in a file. Then just use the case from the latest DVD acquisition when you want to sell one and dig out the jacket cover from your file.

Seems like some posters are looking for obstacles rather than solutions.

I think gatoreater3's post about the slimline DVD cases is probably the best of all worlds. Slim cases, with covers.. cool.

And for the record, both Firefly/Serenity and Cheaper by the Dozen are awesome films/Series.

wow, they have a great style. And a Mies chair! I always wanted one of those.. (however theirs looks smaller than the original or actual replicas - just my eyes?) I was in Architecture in one of my previous professional lives.. and really dig the clean lines and the open spaces. I do wish the windows weren't so heavily treated.. the windows can make a room.

It's clear that they're still working on parts of the house, but they have a solid personality in their style.

so tell me, what's your honest take on that dining room wallpaper? First, I'm not big on wallpaper in general. And that stuff hit me like a truck in the first photo I saw, but as I looked at their decor, and looked at the photos more, the more it grew on me and it really fits. It's really complex, but subtle at the same time. my lappy isn't color friendly, so is that chocolate brown and white? or...?

Anyway, great photos Sarah, and great details! You have a great eye for showing off the best of a home. Even the rooms under construction! (and even the dog looks cute! well.. ok, I'm sure he really is!)
