Information: Some of us require more than bare wood to showcase our belongings. Wallpaper, painted shelves, and some nice gold plaques give our "Mr.T's Be Somebody or Be Somebody's Fool" VHSes a better resting place.
Short Biography: 1842: Built a Rocket. 1932: Published the greatest novel of all time in serial form in the New York Times by sending it into the US from trained carrier pigeons from Guam where I was stationed building a canal system. 2004: Freshman at the U of Michigan, playing ultimate frisbee and eating burritos.

Wallpaper and shelf colors aren't clicking for me, great idea though. The name bracket would be awesome if the text can get centered on there.

Very well executed. One of the better entries. The contrast between background and shelf color make it quite tangible in it looks. The only point of criticism is the labels. The shading is too much plastic-like for me. Would have been cool if it'd look more like brass or gold.

Glad you thought "outside the box" on making the label caps bigger. Done to excellent effect, IMHO.

I donno why the the caps for the labels are thin, when I previewing it in Delicious Library they were at least twice as long... :(
