Like in the movie High Fidelity, we have chosen to arrange our music collection in a most unusual way for the time being anyways. This time, it's not autobiographical, it's by spine color.
Honestly, it looks pretty, but it's damn hard to find anything. A great way to rediscover your music though, since you have to look at almost all of it when you want something.
We did this a couple of weekends ago on a boring Sunday evening. Took us about 30 minutes to swap stuff around.
Also, I think we've been finding more and more CDs that still need to go on the shelf, but alas there is no more room. Those CDs are currently stacked on top. We'll either be getting rid of them, or we'll need yet another storage solution.

That is awesome. At first I thought the white should go at the top and flip the colors but it looks best like that. And I really like how the yellows form a ball in the middle like that.
If you would ever have friends over or aquaintances or even strangers it would be an excellent conversation topic.
Don't worry about finding anything, though. Pretty soon you will start thinking about the albums in terms of color.

Great concept! Totally impractical (as mentioned) but a great design element. It's even in 'Roy G. Biv' order! COOL!

Yeah, I wanted the color to kind of radiate from the middle, which is why there is a gradient from the center outward. We had a bit of trouble figuring out what to do with the black and white cases, which is why they got shoved to the bottom.

Very expressive. A powerful piece. You can tell they are in the middle of something very deep. She must have told him about her other love. The pensive look on her face. The seething rage on his. How did it come this far? I doubt either of them knows, but the teller does. See how she averts her gaze from the pair? Its obvious she's the one. I am not sure if he will ever be able to make a deposit there again.
