Inspiration: Bookcase Styling

Last week, the boy and I made a very adult purchase - this beautiful media center from C&B:



We haven't gotten around to decorating it yet, although his fantasy football trophy seems to have already found a home:


I was home sick yesterday, so I spent a lot of time laying on the couch staring at it (and apparently watching what looks like it must have been some interesting k-pop music videos) and trying to decide how to decorate it.  I think some storage baskets on the bottom shelves would be nice, but the rest is still up for grabs.

Some of my favorite bookcase looks:








Now I need to get off of my butt and actually start decorating!

  12. Beautiful purchase! My bookcase is full of books, which makes it hard to actually style!
