It is no secret that Quinn's room is one of, if not my favorite room in the house (Check out the reveal here). When I walk into that room it makes me happy. I think that is what a space is suppose to do. It feels finished. It is the only room I can sit in without taking a mental inventory of projects I want to do. With that being said, we did make some adjustment to Quinn's room. It all started with the "dangerous room". Yup, that is what Quinn calls it. For those of you who don't know, the ...

Thrifty Thursday: Bookshelf Wall @ Bargain Price
I have been pinning and pinning away (don't forget, you can follow me on Pinterest). One thing that keeps catching my eye are these bookshelf walls. I knew I wanted to incorporate this element into Quinn's room, but I didn't want it to cost a lot and frankly I didn't feel like building anything.
