Let's See Your Collection! Any Size!

This is where I was at the start of the morning.

It’s a 5x5 kallax, the bottom shelf is for the kids’ stuff. Boxsets have had to move on top and about a cube and half have become overspill that are in one of the cupboards in my console. So, I bought these Tee Shelves (no, not @Teeeee shelves, unless you’ve recently moved into a line of metal shelving)! I’ve just finished installing them. They are supported by just 2 plugged screws which makes me really worried about overfilling them but I’ve read nothing but good reviews about them and each one holds upto 60LPs apparently. This will buy me some time until I can get rid of the kids’ stuff from the bottom shelf of the kallax at least.

I love those forward flipping bins, I have to come up with some form of this for part of my collection. It's nice to see your "Complete" setup/area 😎

That is looking really really nice there, Mr. Moore!!!!!
 
A 108 degree day here in Los Angeles last July combined with the lack of AC in our apartment resulted in a portion of the records I'm about to post warping. But its still a collection I'm proud of. Top row + bottom left = rock. Middle bottom left = electronic/pop. Two spaces on the bottom right = mostly rap with some jazz, r&b & classic rock spillover sprinkled in.41544153
The painted rack = roommates records, some classic rock spillover + a bunch of future POF fodder because VMP's quality control went to shit at some point last summer.

4155

EDIT: Bonus points to anybody who can figure out what album inspired the paintings above.

Few points for you @Mr Moore.

Firstly.....Wow. Loving the new shelves, super snazzy and a great way to set up a record playlist. I actually acquired something (way less sophisticated than your solution) to act as a 'to play' bin (another carboot find) which I will share a photo of tonight when I get home.

I see you've got the Teodross Avery - After the Rain! Im more than excited for this, seems like I've been waiting for my copy to arrive for ages! How is it?

Next question......Is that a giant banana hanging from the top part of your kallax :unsure:

And finally, seeing as im on a roll with the questions, which orange spine Impule records do you have on the far right top cube, any favorites? I was looking through my collection at the weekend and thought about separating the impulse orange sleeves from the artist A-Z ordering system which is what I have done with the Blue Notes.

Avery is superb, really energetic take on Coltrane.
The Coltranes occupy most of that top right cube so that’s who those Impulse! spines belong to.
The ‘banana’ is Silvio’s nose who is now hanging above the records in the second photo.

The tidiness of the 5x5 warms my soul!
 
For anyone on here who lives in hotter/humid climes where basement room air gets stale or feels musty (but isn't wet) and you store records, do you have any kind of fans or other devices at work to prevent these conditions from having an adverse effect on vinyl? Assume for sake of discussion central air is available, but limited. Also, can't move shelving and collection upstairs due to weight and floor's inability to hold said weight.
