We have had these ornate bookcases for some time, and they do not match our more modern furniture and house these days.
So, I just finished two cherry bookcases which are more spare and modern in style.
They match the style of the cherry china cabinet that I made a few years ago. Cherry darkens with time, so eventually, the new bookcases will look more like the china cabinet.
...which matches the curve on the china cabinet.
