 Who has that room with an empty wall, just WAITING for that perfect furniture piece?! I know we do! Guess what, after a year, I found it! I found the perfect bookcase for my front room. It was awesome, 8ft tall, beautiful finish, rolling ladder, cute little label holders, I was like Goldilocks, it was JUST right! But guess what? I had the big bad wolf with me (I know I switched nursery rhymes :), my husband, and with a $600 price tag it was definitely a no go! But in his ever positive, "We Can Make It" attitude, he convinced me that we could make it ourselves. And we did! It turned out great, I really couldn't be happier and we made it for 1/3 of the price! Take a look, it's beautiful!
