Storage solutions

Here's a snapshot of some ideas bubbling around in my head (LINK) for the next big project, after I get the kitchen cabinet job (LINK) completed. Better get the finger out, winter is around the corner.

While on a recent family excursion to the Bell Museum of Natural History on the U of M campus (LINK) both Martha and I took a shine to some old display cases that housed bones and rocks and the like. The proportions were perfect. I'd like to build something like this for our dining room. The function would be slightly different. Instead of displaying artifacts we would have books mixed in with art objects. My take on what I saw at the museum would be to have three to five individual storage units, each the exact same size but with variations in the materials used and construction method of each.
