One sale is set to tank in under two minutes, but the rest still have watchers and one has bids.

I did finish my CD rack in the living room. I had picked up an expandable shoe rack (2 tiers, not 4) at the Container Store some time back, and found that it was a little too tall to fit on the upper shelf of my heavy Mexican pine shelf where my LPs are also stored. I looked for a long time to find a 4-foot shelf that was strong enough to support that many LPs, but I found it and it is gorgeous. However, the LPs on the top make it look top-heavy, and they get less use so really belong on the bottom. Tonight I cut off the bottom 1/2 inch on the shoe rack, and the top 1/2 inch on two of the top back supports. The rack came with rubberized feet to slip over these feet, so I was able to put them back on after creating sharp edges with my hacksaw.

My fireplace is rearranged and swept out, mirror and candles in place. I've moved a few things from in front of it and need to find places for them to be stored (I had a drawer of lead type that I plant to put on the wall, once I dispose of the type. It is a lovely Garamond that I'll probably sell on eBay).

Time to go read a little more Harry Potter (book 7) and then start again in the morning.
