Styling Bookcases

Our entertainment center covers this whole wall in the familyroom across from the sofa and has two bookcases on each side of the center section that holds the tv.

  I really enjoy this piece, it gives me tons of storage for all that necessary equipment, but it also holds my serving trays, chargers, napkins and napkin rings and is super handy since it is next to the kitchen as part of our familyroom/kitchen open floorplan.

 I have these fabulous shelves to play with, but sometimes I just forget to change them up.  I don't think I've changed them up since before Christmas. This is what the left side has most recently looked like.  

Now it sports this new look. See my wonderful new M that I found.  I have been  enjoying all the little greenery pots that I have been making, (you can see my tutorial here) so I sprinkled some of them around on these shelves.  See my little topiary on the top shelf and the feathery fern in the middle, aren't they fun!!!!

This was what the right side looked like.  Way too long since it was changed.

This is it's new look.  I removed some of the books and opened it up a little more.  I like that better and all my new greenery looks fabulous on this side too.  I put the two succulent pots on the top shelf, another fern in the middle and my orb on the bottom.  I need to make more of these, there are so many places they can be used.

Sitting on the sofa looking across, the bookcase vignettes tie in with the coffee table now.   Nice to have something new to look at.

So how about you, are there some areas of your home that don't get changed up all that often?
