We did a similar cabinet, though larger, a few years ago for our guest bedroom. Very similar idea, but we used some of my mother’s old wallpaper for the side treatment.

The woodwork is a bit overwhelming, and the white appears a bit stark against the dark trim. I think you might want to consider painting the walls and the back of the bookcases in a color like Ralph Lauren's Chamois (you can get this at Home Depot). This is a beautiful creamy color that will tone down the contrast between wood and wall. If you don't like that particular color, you might want to look at others in that series. Painting the back of the bookcases would be a very difficult thing to undo, so I would first find some paper at an office supply store (like Staples), and tape it up where you would paint.
