SHELVING THIS IDEA...

I'm always on the lookout for a great shelf idea and one that's inexpensive and creative like this is right up my alley.  Personally, I would change, or paint, the brackets but if these match your decor or you tend to fancy them then...by all means...leave them! I'm sure old books can be picked up at any Goodwill or second hand store and if you can't find colors you want then hot glue your favorite colored material to them.  For step-by-step instructions click here: http://www.realsimple.com/home-organizing/home-improvement/create-book-shelves-00000000035586/index.html
