1. Bed Bookshelf

Do you have a small room but you are also a book lover? I am in this situation as well! What can we do? Life is short and we need a lot of books in it. You know, just to make it even more amazing. If you have a tiny bedroom and you cannot have both the bed and the library in the same room, a bed with bookshelves might be what you need.

This thing is actually similar to a trundle-style bed, which holds drawers for clothing or for the sheets. But instead of drawers, these empty shelves are perfect for books. Or for DVDs! What do you think?

    Of course you COULD just do what I did, and get rid of a BUNCH of stuff! My son recently visited my “new” apt that he’d not seen since I moved in 3 1/2 yrs ago. While he was here he asked, “So, where’d all the stuff go?” I told him, I got rid of it all!

    But your suggestions were awesome! Congrats on a great article! ~ Shelly 😉

    What am I missing in the Make-up Behind the Door???? You state move the make-up to another space.”This solution is simple, and it’s cheap! How cool is this? You can fill up its pockets with everything you want to..” Pockets? What pockets?

    There definitely is something wonderful about America. Just ask all of the people who want to come here. We are still the land of the free and home of the brave. We also welcome those from other countries that want a better life for their families and are willing to put in the work once they get here. We even help them financially to achieve their goals. Many immigrants receive much more in benefits than our lazy population who refuse to get jobs. We may not be perfect but we are still the land of opportunity. There is nothing “superior” about Americans and most of us aren’t so easily offended by another person’s freedom to choose their own words. God Bless America!!! Land that I love!

    These ideas all “sound” good, but some folks are visual as well. Would have been nice to see photos of all the ideas listed.
