I know I posted a while ago about the awesome bookcases I got from Borders when it was going out of business, and now I've found that I'm completely out of space again... kind of a bummer when I have all these lovely books, and they're being stacked on top of others in my shelves, as well being stacked on the floor in front of my lovely shelves {a good portion of these are from my book-binging the last few months, and are a literal TBR pile}...
{And these are my overly stuffed bookcases at the moment}
My hubs told me a while ago that I could buy a new bookcase to go up with these ones so my books don't have to hand out on the floor... but I just don't know which one to buy! I would ideally have like to purchase on that matches the two I have, but as no one is selling a Borders bookcase I'm a little out of luck! Here are a couple I've been looking at online...
From Target:
The Threshold Carson 5 Shelf Bookcase. This was the first bookcase I bought when the hubs and I got our first apartment, before I was a book-buying fiend. This now houses D's books {and it almost full}. However, its a bit shorter than the cases I have downstairs and it only has 5 shelves {while they're taller shelves, I don't have a bunch of tall books that don't already have a home on my cases downstairs}.
From Ikea:
The Billy Bookcase. I like this one because it kinda matches the ones I have downstairs color-wise. Plus, the shelves are deep and are quite hefty, holding a decent weight per shelf.
The Hemnes Bookcase. Both Little D and I have dressers from this line at Ikea, and they've held up really well! I like that it's a little more decorative looking than the Billy bookcase, but doesn't hold nearly as much per shelf. Both the Hemnes and the Billy bookcases are rather deep, so I could double stack if I need to.
My question, fellow bloggers, is this: which case should I get? The price isn't took much of a concern, and I think I'm leaning more towards the Billy bookcase since it will match the others I already have, but my mind isn't made up yet. Help! Also, do you have a bookcase that you absolutely love and would recommend?

I really like the last one =)
I like that one, too... I'm just trying to figure out what will match best and hold the most! It is the widest of the 3, which means more book space... :-)
