A while back, Brad posted his adventure in putting together the Billy Bookcase shelving unit from IKEA. So I thought I post my most recent IKEA purchase, with a "Disney" tie-in.
I've been looking for an affordable AND nice curio cabinet to display the many Disney items that I have. Most of the curio cabinets that I like ran into the upper hundreds, even thousands of dollars. I like my Disney items a lot, but NOT to the extent that I want to spend that much money just to display them. The curio/display cabinets that I have found at IKEA were not to my liking. They looked cheap and rather small. Until now!
A month ago, while browsing around IKEA, we found this Bjursta glass-door cabinets, and immediately I see the potential. You can buy the optional lighting fixtures (which we did), and this has turned into a very nice display cabinet. Besides, it costs $350! 
The assembly wasn't bad. It took us less than an afternoon to put it together. It comes in two long packages though, and one of them weighs quite a bit, so that might be something you want to consider if you are bring it home.
This is what it looks like assembled, and filled with some of my stuff. It is now in our Family room of the house.
A close-up look at some of the items on display right now.
This, btw, is a signed photo of Walt, one of my most prized possession. It was a gift from someone whose dad knew Walt.
It also has a shallow drawer in the middle that one can use for storage of flat items, such as .... oh, let me think.... PINS?
