Before:
Here is the way all the dolls were crammed together when I first placed them all in the office space many many months ago. Before that they were living in my spare room/closet room on top of my dresser and everywhere else that had a space for them.And more dolls on the floor and the mess of boxes, etc scattered about the room that is taking up space.
This is the soon to be doll bookcase, books, books and more books. Should have taken a better photo when I cleared out all the boxes out of the room, but you get the point lots and lots of stuff..lol.
After:
Tada!! What we did or I should say what my boyfriend did for me was we took a few shelves out and moved them around so that there was more open space for the dolls to stand or sit. I decided to leave the action figures up on top of the bookcase. This may not be the final location that all of them will remain in but for now this is how I arranged them...
Next we got rid of the small bookcase that was on the side wall and he built a new one to be the same height as the other and again open space to place the dolls. More fun action figures on top.
Shelf by Shelf:
A closer look at the dolls, more photos can be seen on my Facebook page Here .

There is a bit of a space under this last shelf where the vent in the room is at the moment a 1/6 motorcyle is there but I may just store some other BJD related items there, we shall see.
New Bookcase:
And there you have it a definite WIP (work in progress) as I still have the rest of the room to straighten up so I may post another blog with updated photos. I have other dolls such as Bratz, Barbies and Monster High that are in random other spots in this room and my closet room. And as I said for more detailed photos just go to my FB page and read all about the dolls that are in each shelf. :o)
Oh wait speaking of my closet room I forgot one of my precious dolls:
She is sharing a shelf with some other random items that I have in the same room as all my monster high dolls in fact. And that ends the weekly blog hope maybe this will inspire others to be creative and find a special place for your dolls. Until next week take care.
Man I am like crazy jealous of this. When I get my own place I am definitely doing this. (You know because my current collection of two dolls and a head (soon to be five dolls and a head) warrants and entire room. Clearly.
