I love that curtain fabric and the roosters, too. And I paint everything black - so that's my vote for the bookcase. <br /><br />Oh, and my sister bought me a Lisa Leonard necklace in honor of baby #2! I'm so excited to get it!

I use a lot of red, black, and green in my kitchen, too. I love the idea of painting the bookcase. I know you said just the inside but a friend of mine painted a piece in a very distressed red and it's awesome. Her's was dark but you maybe could pick up the color in the rooster poster, even on just the inside back of the shelf. I would say to wallpaper it but that does add to the cluttered look.<br /><br />Love your room!pcbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15451934924322382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005234532014158396.post-75524284165423597112009-04-28T08:50:00.000-05:002009-04-28T08:50:00.000-05:00Looks great - I definitely think taking out a few ...Looks great - I definitely think taking out a few shelves will really help things on the bookshelves stand out more.

We had that same color in our dining room at our old house! Great minds huh? Here's a thought, my MIL, who is a fab decorator, took the shelves out recently in her built-ins and lined the back wall with a few fabrics because she couldn't decide what she wanted just yet. After a few weeks of looking at the fabrics, she picked a coordinating fabric, slipped the shelves back in, put all her goods back on the shelves, and it looks fabulous! Straight out of a magazine! She lives in Fairhope and I tell her all the time she must be featured in something. Good luck!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05806062336424255465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005234532014158396.post-67759910461138635482009-04-28T06:20:00.000-05:002009-04-28T06:20:00.000-05:00Hillary....

I would paint the back black to pick up the other black accents you have in the room. Of course, if you plan on putting black accessories on the shelf then that obviously wouldn't work. How about picking up that great rust/red (sorry, the pic won't enlarge and I can't tell exactly what color it might be) from the drapes.<br />One last thing, how in the world do you have your boys trained not to knock over the beautiful wine rack? That would be a disaster area in our house!! ha!Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199473656014680094noreply@blogger.com
