I know! I totally jinxed it! Heading to Ikea this weekend to stock up!

Great to hear the post helped! You’ll love the Expedit shelves – especially since you can find any size to fit your needs and space.

Yes! So great to know a fellow Minnesotan record collector! Where do you get your records now that you are out in the “country”? I do a lot of ebay shopping when I can’t find exactly what I am looking for!

Yes, you should totally do that! Lots of new vinyl comes with download codes too (it’ll say on the packaging if it does). That would allow you to have both formats – the analog record, and mp3’s for your itunes.

Hi Becky, I should’ve probably been more clear in my post that we have speaker wire running out to our dining room – it’s pretty hidden along our floor board. Our speakers are located in the dining room – finding the right space for the speakers has been our hardest challenge regarding our stereo set up. Someday I think we will have speakers wired into more ideal locations of the house, but have no plans for that now. They do make wireless speakers if you wanted to broadcast something via an apple airport express, we have considered this option for our front porch. Don’t know if that helps at all, but as far as I know, speaker technology is still very analog.

Hey Caroline! Elvis Christmas is my favorite all time Christmas record! And yes, most music is released on vinyl, you should consider collecting :)

I agree! So great that you share your dad’s love for vinyl!

I know, right? Oh Ikea, you made us all better people. I had one before Ikea came into my life from target and it only lasted one move before it entirely collapsed. There are people out there who build amazing shelves, they just don’t cost $39.99, which of course is why I like the Expedit. I do like the look of those big 5×5 ones that you have jam packed with records, total eye candy.

Hope you and your kids are getting stuck in snow banks today!

Hey Emily! I am lucky to have someone just give me a bunch of cool audio stuff! I don’t know how long it would’ve taken me to take the plunge on my own and purchase some quality equipment if I didn’t. I do however, think it’s worth the investment.

Love your last blog post about your house colors – by the way, I’d love to do that over here someday to see how it all really works together. I feel like we’ve gone down a similar path of home decor experimenting, your blog is super inspiring!

Thanks Teresa! Long live weird kitchens – glad to know I’m not alone ;)

First of all, oh my god, that Eames chair is insane! Woah! I thought I had a chair problem too, but definitely not as cool as yours.

IF only Expedit was stainable hard wood, wouldn’t that be best? Your record collection is amazing looking, and that black chair looks super cool. I can’t wait till we can fill all our new expedit cubes and it looks like yours!

Thanks Dad!
