My favorite part of owning my own store.

The two new bookshelves didn't fit where I intended. So I put one of them somewhere else in a less than ideal location and brought the other home.

Then I measured again, searched the internet, and found two fixtures that I think will work better. I hope. 

The fixture I put in the "less than ideal spot" will also be replaced by a better fixture. 

Meanwhile, two/thirds of the poplar planks I purchased have found a place in the store, so I don't feel like I wasted my money. 

All this moving around has thrown the store into a bit of chaos, which is why it is being done now in January and February, historically two of our slowest months. Should all be done by March, after which there'll be some finessing around.  

All this rearranging has added up to a lot more linear feet of shelving than I originally expected. I thought at most I'd get about 20 feet, but in the end I ended up with about twice that much, though some of it is so high up the wall that it can only display a few art books face out. Still, better than before.

For some reason, I get great enjoyment out of doing this kind of thing. It's always been my favorite part of owning a store.
