I finally got around to 'finishing' mine. I want to thank everyone here who provided info, pics, etc. in past posts. All of the info on here was really helpful and made the project that much easier.
BEFORE (AGH- I can't read any of those darn spines! Records Everywhere! Wait...what's this?)
AFTER
At this point I was still organizing/sorting through my records. Now everything is alphabetized. Rock is on top. Blues/Jazz on lower left. Lower right is for 'new' bands/music. At some point I'd like to stain the wood a bit. But, for now, not too shabby.

Recently picked up the LPBIN. Far superior to IKEA and worth the $250 imho. See my posting today--Sept 11, 8:09pm--under Members Systems. (for some reason I am not allowed to post the same pics in this thread.) http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=130581&page=686

Woah! Those are cool!
I bought 2 of these at a yard sale for $1 each. Repainted the gold and did a little Old English on the wooden parts. Turned out nice and the retro look fits the basement theme. Forgive the cell phone pics.
that was a great find for the price! I really like the retro look of those. Nice find, and nice job!
Saratoga-That's incredible! Nice setup!
Sorry about all of the posts. I never really thought of storing records like this. Shopping for them like this, of course! Storing them? Never thought of it!
I just store mine in a bookcase, spines, out, alphabetical by band then chronological by album release date. CDs became the form of media when I was in HS, as my freshman year no one really had CD players, but by the time I graduated everyone had CDs....so the bulk of my music for now is on CD but my vinyl collection is rapidly re-expanding, and this is also how I have always stored them. I think I might be lost after 25+years of doing it that way as I know right where to pinpoint a record or cd with my "system". LOL
Nonetheless, I love looking at all of these storage setups in this thread. Very cool ideas! Perhaps I might have to complete change the way I'm doing things!

Thanks Bluzfn5. I also got this matching pole LP holder for free at an estate sale last summer.
