Next shelf down, do the same but this time start on the right side.
Next shelf down, do the same on the left side, and so on and so on until all the shelves are filled one third full of hardbound books.
Step Two
The next items you’ll be working with are the biggest items you have such as baskets and lidded boxes. Starting from the top shelf, work from the right side this time. Fill in those spots with baskets and lidded boxes.
