Paul Ritter is a client from NYC who has been collecting records for over 40 years. Paul's collection is one of our favorites to date, primarily because his collection is housed in the heart of his home, where it can be enjoyed and played all day, every day!
Paul has in his own words, "pretty much every Koeppel Design product", including custom dividers and genre dividers, A-Z engraved dividers, the LP Block and more!

Michael P. is a frequent customer of ours who has been adding custom panels to his home vinyl collection, with a very personal approach to organization. Michael explains "My collection is organized by genre. Within each genre it's broken down by artist and label alphabetically. This can get tricky when you have a release that is by an artist who is on multiple labels or within multiple genres. For me, it comes down to how I will remember a song. Will I remember it as the artist, the label, or the genre? Depending on where that answer lies is where the record gets filed."
Judging from his collecting habits, I have a feeling Michael is far from finished! In his collection, Michael uses a combination of engraved genre dividers, a custom Ghostly label panel (limited edition, now sold out), and a slowly growing selection of custom stencil dividers. Michael has even snagged a few sale panels here and there. Read on to learn a bit more about Michael's collection, set up and current vinyl favorites.

We first got to know Paige after going down a YouTube rabbit hole and discovering her refreshing vinyl videos and reviews, on her channel Paige Backstage. Paige exudes a clear joy for new music and the local Toronto music scene, but what stands out the most in Paige's videos is both her enthusiasm for music and her absolute disregard for the vinyl-loving, lady-hating trolls out there. Way to go Paige! You can also follow Paige on Instagram @paigebackstage.
Paige has a set of 4 genre dividers ( Local, Favorites, Now Spinning and New Arrival) in her growing vinyl collection, plus two custom dividers. Paige explains, "My record dividers are great for separating out things that I might forget about among the shelves. Having my local records separate reminds me to find new local acts to support, and having the subscription records out gets me to look through and actually see which ones I do and don't want. It just makes it feel more personal and real, less like a bunch of records all crammed together on a shelf. They're all my children."
Check out Paige's collection!
