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.

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.
