Opinions, please

I have decided to turn the dining room into a "school room" or sorts. Well, really I am just going to store our books closer to where we use them. The problem is, we only need a place to store our library books and I don't want to buy book shelves.

I have an old, beat up antique cabinet in the garage waiting for me to decide what to do with it. I got the *brilliant* idea to bring it into the dining room as a school cabinet. I am going to live with it in place for a few days and then if I decide to keep it, I will refigure the shelves and fix it up a bit. (As you can tell by my chairs I like the beat-up look.)
The back wall that is bare will be for our white board, maps and any other things we need/want to hang.
I don't mind having school *stuff* out in the open. so that isn't an issue. I just don't want the house to look cluttered.
What do you think?

Love it. Maybe on the other wall?

Thanks!

Well, I was thinking of the other wall but Marty was afraid that it would look to "closed in" or cluttered. We also want to have a place for maps and "stuff" (that will probably make it look "closed in" or cluttered. ROFL)

So far, I like it. I think I might just start working on it tomorrow. :o)
