Bookshelf Styling

For the most part, I'm happy with how the apartment has transitioned from the all girl apartment I shared with Stacy to the first home for Andy and me.   But there are a few areas that still need some special attention and the book shelves on either side of our fireplace/TV are one of those areas.  Here are some images that I'm going to use as my inspiration when I tackle this project. 

One interesting thing I noticed when I was gathering inspiration is that apparently I really like how the folks at Carrier and Company (1 / 3 / 5) style.  I was flipping through the photos that I had saved on my computer and found #1 that I saved back in 2009.  Fast forward to the world of Pinterest and I had #3 pinned on my bookcases board.  So, of course, I had to go back to their site for more inspiration and found #5 that I just love (the pieces appear to be the same ones as in the Elle Decor Concept House).

I'll be back with before and afters!
