Currently the shelves in my horse room are a hodge podge, a mix and match of units that go back to the 1980s.
Colors range from dark brown to light brown, cherry, and white.
And the heights vary, too. Since I retired, I have been thinking of replacing them and having matching shelving. One thing I can rule out right away are cabinets with doors - while these keep dust (and pony pals) out, I prefer to be able to see my collection clearly.
I have looked into built-ins but I hesitated to permanently turn my office into an office - we won't own this home forever, and the next occupant may need it as the bedroom it is supposed to be.
I may have found a solution. Saturday, Lisa invited me to go with her to IKEA in Indianapolis. She was looking for shelves for books in her own office. (If you can't put horses on your shelves, then put books on them!)
Naturally I poked around for possibilities for my office while we were there. I really liked these.
They're affordable and have one more shelf than my current shelves as they taller. They're wider, too, so I would have to adjust for that.
A narrower matching shelf is also available.
I am certainly thinking it over. I have a busy week ahead but that's okay - it gives me time to weigh options, take measurements, etc.
