A few of my favorite things...


New pic from different vantage point so you can get the feel of the room. Don't all speak at once. Please, don't be shy. Any advice is welcome. How would you arrange the bookshelf?

A bookcase that's been in my family for years. It began in my dad's office, then wound up in our family home, and now it's in my family room. As a child I used to fit inside while playing hide and seek. As you can see, we kids accessorized it from the get go. The pennies fit perfectly. Lucky for me, it fit in with my mid-century modern, male inspired room. I am not a "cling-on", definitely no Star Trek for me, but I just couldn't let it go to sale. Too many memories. I'm still in the process of redoing this room and I'm a bit stumped as to how to arrange the shelves. I like this grouped look, but wonder if others think it odd the rest are empty. I don't want it to become too cluttered. Any suggestions or critiques are welcome.
