We have been having a lot of fun putting together my son’s room. His room is starting to look like a room he would never want to leave! I started by making him his own wall-mounted desk with a few floating shelves to hold his encyclopedias and other favorite books and toys. Then this month I made this awesome toy storage unit to corral all his legos and action figures. Lastly, we added a little style to his room with this DIY plaid wall.
