Bookcase Addition

We had two tall Avington Dark Tobacco Bookcases from Target in our office and John decided that they should be moved down to our formal living room.

This is what the living room looked like before

The sad little bookcase on the left was an eye sore (we have plans to stain/paint that guy later, but for now we moved it into the office) and the other side of the couch was painfully empty, so John's idea was pretty good.

This is the living room after with our bookcases in it. They are a lot darker compared to the rest of the wood tones in the room, which kinda stinks but they'll do for now.

They really fit the space beautifully. Once we got the bookcases in their correct positions, John and I had fun decorating them. I found some lion bookends, while thrift store shopping a couple months back and spray painted them white and added them. We grabbed some vases, books, and any other miscellaneous stuff around the house and went to town. This is how they turned out.

 I found myself going out of the way to look at them all day yesterday. They make me happy. Now we need to work on getting some replacement bookcases for the office.
