Sly CD Storage

Now that you’ve loaded all of your favorite music onto your computer or portable music player, what do you do with all of the CDs you’ve collected since the mid-1980s*? You can’t just toss them – heaven forbid your computer crashes and you need to load them again!

Try these CD/DVD storage shelves from Ikea (pictured below). At $5.99 a pop, you can’t beat the value. They’re incredibly sturdy (made of steel) and slim enough to hang pretty much anywhere. We have 6 of these hanging inches from the ceiling in our daughter’s closet. Our CDs are still easy to get to when we want them, but no longer taking up the limited storage we have in our entertainment unit.

*By the way, in 1984 Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” was the first music CD available in the United States, but Billy Joel’s “52nd Street” was released two years earlier in Japan.
