Now I have some ideas for our WIRs.... and some confidence that even my husband could manage the fit-out. I never would have thought to use Billy bookcases, but they'd be perfect for shelving. mishti, you might find some more inspiration on the ikea hacker site. Some of the ideas are really, really crappy, but if you're prepared to sift through them, there are some good 'uns too.
