Bookshelf Meets Bar

I don't exactly have a lot of extra space lying around, but if I did, an empty bookshelf would be immediately converted into an updated bar area. With the backsplash lined in a funky, retro wallpaper and the addition of vintage-type cans and bottles (see the Seagrams and Coke cans in this photo), this could be just as striking as a color coordinated book shelf. I'd balance mine out with some nice vases or coffee table books for juxtaposition, while the ginger jars and symmetrical lamps are a nice, finishing touch, too.
