It's WISE to DIY: Thrify Ideas for the Do-It-Yourselfer

They Wanted A $1000 Bookcase But DIYed It Instead! The Result? GORGEOUS!!

So, mom and dad saw this bookshelf they wanted for their son’s room.  But $1000?  IDTS.  (I don’t think so.:)

So they drew out the plans.  Bought the wood.  Made the cuts.

They began assembling the piece together…

…painted these squares green and then started putting the bookshelf together…

They continued on till the bookshelf was complete, stained it and it looks absolutely FABULOUS!!  KUDOS!
