A thrifty Aussie mum with the audacity to DIY anything. Old house, new projects, & life back home after a decade abroad šŸ› ļø

I knew live edge would shelves would be perfectttt I knew live edge would shelves would be perfectttt for the treehouse vision in our 4-year-old’s room but I had a little look online and they were about $300 each which I definitely could not justify. So I went to my trusty old Facebook Marketplace and found there was a warehouse across town selling slab offcuts and I got enough for four shelves for $100! 
Which means I basically ✨made✨ $1100.

I will die on the hill that paint is the absolute I will die on the hill that paint is the absolute best way to transform a room (especially if you’re newer to projects and don’t have a full renovation budget), so take this as your sign to choose a colour and go for it! #ad

He at one point said he wanted ā€˜rainbow’ so I tried to fit as many colours as possible and I’m also to be honest a bit emotional that his little Dino traveled stuffed in a suitcase on a cargo ship halfway across the world to get back to his spot in the middle of the bed 😭
Anyway I’m so proud of this room and also jealous my kids are cooler than me.
