Welcome to my home Billy. Billy the book case.

What do you do when you love to collect things, but you run out of room. Perhaps you say to yourself, now is a good time to stop, or even perhaps lets see what I own and see what I could get rid of to make more room.

Matt and I went to Ikea and bought a Billy the book case instead. Haha! If you read this blog you will know I am a huge POP! Funko fan and since moving to my own flat Matt and I have been expanding our collection. I reached a point where I no longer had enough room for my POP!s and my OCD mode kicked in when I could no longer keep all the POP!s from the same fandom together. They started to become and a mess of what can I squeeze in here and what I can move there. I wasn't happy and I wasn't happy at the idea I could no longer buy any more.

We already had a 6 square shelving unit (you can now see it on the left hand side in the picture below) so we planned to getting another one of those to put beside the TV unit. While browsing around ikea we came across Billy bookcase. It was pretty much the same size (and price) as the other shelving unit but much taller and had the option to add extra shelves in. Also the bookcase isn't as deep either which was one downfall when displaying items on the other unit so this seemed like a perfect option.


It should of gone together really easily, my advice would be to NOT IKEA late at night because when you are tired you make mistakes like we did and then spent 2 hours fixing said mistake. Luckily there is minimal damage that you can only really see if you know it is there.

I am super happy with how it looks and I can't wait to get more funkos to fill the gaps. It also means I can now display my favourite films and books too, which makes me really happy as they were hidden and tucked away just to fit them in.


My funko collection looks a lot less now they are nicely spaced out on the shelves which is a good thing I think as it means I have lots of room for lots more without looking too cramped. 

I think it would look great to get a second bookcase too in the future, but for now I have lots more room for lots more of the things I love!

I would love to see your funko collection if you have one and how you display them if you have one!
