Styling a bookcase

  When we moved into this house we acquired a very large built-in bookcase.  The bookcase takes up almost an entire wall at the front entry and allows for the pocket door going into the hallway.  My first thought when I saw this extra large bookcase in the exact spot that I wanted my front entry table and mirror, was "It's gotta go," but now it's grown on me and I realize how lucky I am to have a bookcase already.

  I by no means consider myself a styling expert but I do enjoy the process (which I get from my mother, the act of piddling).  So every season I change out my extra large bookcase and this time I am decorating with the summer months in mind.  I often think/dream/contemplate painting the back of the bookcase but that is a big step.  Maybe one day.

I hate that light.  Empty bookcase.

All the stuff laid out on my dining room table.

Put back together.

Here's a picture of the pocket door that leads to the hallway.
