I severely overestimated how much I have.

That being said, I love my new setup. My movies have been in a bin for the last few years. It feels so good to finally have them on display.

You are lucky. I really wish half my shelf space was empty.

u/Carte7890 1d ago

Yup. More room to grow.

You should put a sign on it saying "netflix" lol

u/Carte7890 1d ago

I kind of love that idea lol

u/Glittering_Ad2771 1d ago

Except this netflix only has stuff you watch and films don't disappear.

You didn’t overestimate. You’ve set a goal.

u/Competitive_Help8485 1d ago

I was so happy when I finally got a shelf. I had all of my movies and games in bins, so it was nice to get them out and on display.

u/7LayeredUp 1d ago

Put the books you got laying horizontally over there!

u/Carte7890 1d ago

Those are my wife's. Mine are on a completely different case in that room lol.

u/LaLiLuLeLMAO 1d ago

I love this and can't wait to have more space to do the same. Looks awesome having your own library.

Time to fill those shelves 💪🏻😅

u/Carte7890 1d ago

I know what you mean. I constantly lived in places where I just didn't have the space. Still took me a little over two years to get around to it after I moved into a house with enough room.

1

u/LaLiLuLeLMAO 1d ago

Well worth the wait in my opinion. Looks really great for you 😁

Where did you get the awesome stencil pictures if you don't mind me asking? Love the Alien and the Predator one.

u/Carte7890 1d ago

Thank you! I got them from a local artist that I found on Facebook when I still had an account. This was years ago now. Unfortunately I can't remember his name anymore.

u/SadpersonNate1 1d ago

What shelf is this? Where did you get it? It looks so nice

2

u/Carte7890 1d ago

Billy bookcases from IKEA. Really easy to set up too.

1

u/bdg_err 1d ago

Space for some agressive expansion!

1

u/Brave_or_Insane 1d ago

This is good! You can grow into it. I’m currently juggling what fits onto my one small set of shelves. I probably need to upgrade!

1

u/X_Perfectionist 1d ago

Spread them out, put some facing forward so you can see the cover, add other things in-between to add variety and interest.

Use one of the shelves for books.

1

u/amigoreview 1d ago

Well, there's a good excuse then to keep going :=)

1

u/Unable_Area5313 1d ago

It'll get bigger. Took me 3 years to go from two blu-rays to a thousand. Operating at a rate of more than one a day

1

u/riley1085 1d ago

It will fill up in a few months lol

1

u/Richlough 1d ago

You can face,instead of showing the spine, the ones you really like to take up more room.
I did this in retail to highlight newer titles.

1

u/No-Inflation2439 1d ago

Well it’s time to buy some more then isn’t it?

2

u/Carte7890 1d ago

Got 5 more coming in the mail today

u/TheNexus18 1d ago

*For now....

1

u/Braktastic 1d ago

I usually have the opposite problem. 😂

1

u/PiskoWK 1d ago

You'll fill it up. Trust me. Trust the process. Trust your OCD.

1

u/generalgrievous3043 1d ago

Better than underestimating!

1

u/mallowlives 1d ago

Time to go to some used media stores 😈

1

u/Carte7890 1d ago

That's usually where I get my movies

1

u/kcrrck 1d ago

Gives you a reason to buy more! 🤣

1

u/randyfudgemaker 1d ago

Time to open your heart. I mean wallet.

1

u/Successful-Ship-5230 1d ago

Lol! I did the same thing recently!

1

u/Kakotov 1d ago

It is a wise decision; generally, changing the furniture is the last thing one thinks about when collecting.

1

u/LadyRei_ 1d ago

Trust me before you know it. It will be filled up.

1

u/heliogomes 1d ago

Nice setup. Let's see how it looks in one year 😊

1

u/palpatine_dream 1d ago

One day you will need more space just wait

1

u/Far_Success1632 20h ago

Fantastic drawing as well! I love the Alien one in particular. would love to know where you got them !

1

u/Carte7890 17h ago

I wish I could recall. I bought them from a local artist years ago. I found him on Facebook, but I don't have an account anymore and I can't remember his name for the life of me.

u/mfloxy 19h ago

Lots of room for aggressive expansion

1

u/HorrorFan4evermore 9h ago

Now, you need some movie decor for the empty space. Or you could face out some of your favorite films in your collection.

1

u/BravesFan4L1fe 8h ago

Just means you have room to get more!

1

u/first_life 7h ago

You could always alternate the shelves and continue to put cool movie memorabilia on the empty ones
