The Helper | 
Okay y‘all, I need some help. I‘m getting a new bookcase in front of my bed. I‘m trying to think of my neck too, but for aesthetics should the tv be on the right (where it is) or left? The book case will be about as tall as the painting when it‘s built.
We also got two of my favorite paintings out of storage!! (The one in the pic is going over my bed.) Will post finished pics later this weekend!! 👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎉🤩🤩
TheSpineView Hard to say without seeing the whole room. My gut though tells me that you should go with the option that makes seeing the TV the easiest. 5y
violabrain Unpopular opinion I‘m sure, but I would remove the TV from the bedroom entirely. There‘s a lot of research that shows you will be healthier and sleep better if you take the TV out of the bedroom. 5y
LeahBergen Make a bookcase that covers the whole wall between those curtains and set the TV into the centre of it at a comfortable viewing height.😃 5y

Panic70 I would pick making the bookcase the focal point, and the tv the afterthought. Just thinking seeing your bookcase will bring you joy. So put it right in your line of sight??? 5y
Megabooks @TheSpineView that‘s what I‘m thinking. My head has naturally gone a bit right since my fusion, so I‘m thinking that. 5y
Megabooks @violabrain I think if I had done that earlier in my life it would be good, but after my car accident when I was 17, I stopped being able to sleep without it on. I set the sleep timer, so it doesn‘t play all night, but as an adult, I would totally agree. But as someone still experiencing pain and trauma from the accident, I am loathe to give it up. 😢 5y
Megabooks @LeahBergen That is a good idea!! I‘m probably going to go with this inexpensive one in the short term (because I‘m running out of space on my two other shelves! 😂😂) but that‘s a really good long-term solution! Thanks!! 5y
Megabooks @Panic70 they are both equally in my line of sight right now just looking ahead.. (You can kind of see my feet.) I like @LeahBergen ‘s idea of a larger unit where it could all fit and I could possibly have more shelves. But I agree that the bookcase is more joyful. From where I have my Flippy now to type left handed, I have the tv covered and can see the bookshelf. Good thought. Thank you! 5y
violabrain @Megabooks Oh, I‘m so sorry to hear this! 😥😥 I don‘t blame you for leaving it on! I love your art by the way! 😍😍 5y
Megabooks @violabrain thank you! I picked it up at an art fair a few years ago. It‘s called Ghost in the Machine like the mind-body relationship from Ryle. 👍🏻 I‘m glad to have it out of storage. 5y
Crazeedi Whatever you decide, yay for a new bookcase! I need another desperately too!! 5y
Megabooks @Crazeedi yay for TBRs and bookcases!! 🥂 5y
BarbaraBB I‘d put the books on the left side. So you can easily watch tv and have the books right in front of you ❤️ 5y
Megabooks @BarbaraBB I‘ve had it set up that way all last night, and I think I like it. It really is making me happier! 😁💜 5y
