I love the Mario bookshelf and the nightstand! All of the other ideas are very creative, too, but the Mario speaks to the kid in me 🙂

They're pretty, but most don't have nearly enough shelf space for the space they take up. The one with shelves going over the windows is good, though (thinking…). They're shelves for design lovers, not book lovers.
