Mid Century Modern Brass and Chrome Shelves

You know that one of my favorite things to do is to style bookcases.  I saw this pair of Mid Century Modern shelves at a local estate sale.  The glass shelves were missing and I commented that I wished the shelves were there.  Do you believe they said that they had the shelves?  They brought them out all wrapped carefully in bubble wrap ready for transport.  Of course I bought them and was so glad I had asked about the glass.  For a while I've needed something on either side of my buffet turned TV cabinet.  They fit into the space perfectly.

It took all of half an hour to style them.  I just walked around the house grabbing what would work. My things are so used to moving around from room to room that no one objected to a new location.  The only new-to-me accessories are the brass spheres on the top shelves.

The spikey sphere on the top shelf was meant to hang on the wall but the flat back worked perfectly on the top shelf.

My antlers decided to wrap around each other and overflow a large glass jar.

The bottom shelves have bottles and framed French engravings.

Doesn't it feel good when you find something that pulls it all together?
