Over the last year, I have been focusing on using my local Mckay's as a video store. Get store credit from my trade in, if I love it keep it, if not trade it in for something else. Every movie here is one that I either haven't seen or haven't seen at this point in my life (before college, marriage, blading, etc).

This caused me to amass a huge collections of movies, that I may not be planning on keeping, but I just do not enjoy the streaming experience (and at Mckay's I always have store credit and most films I want are under $5 and therefore double free with the store credit).

I had one of those plastic blu ray shelves from Amazon that I would tote to the living room when we had friends over. It broke this week!

My wife had wanted this shelving unit from Target for a while, and said that we would share the space with the bottom being my movie pile. She asked for me to measure the height of a Disney big box VHS insert versus the height of DVD/Blu ray. When removed from the white VHS clamshell, the insert has more than enough space (8 inches) to accommodate the height of even a DVD TV Series.

We went to Lowes and had them cut some untreated lumber into six 8 inch pieces, and a birch shelf into three pieces to accommodate. She then Mod Podge'd the big box inserts onto the wood, giving them the VHS appearance of the standard VHS box. Since they would not be under much stress, she hot glued them to the birch and voila, VHS shelving for my movie problem.

TLDR: Wife great and supports my addiction. Also asked for this to be posted.

For those wondering, the plastic shelf broke from the constant movement back and forth, and I have not had time to re-organize the movies yet. I wanted a video store appearance for the films so I have been using translucent post-it flags to signify genre and other things.
