Remember this Buy Nothing bookshelf? When it was finished, I put it into our downstairs den, where it held books and some games/movies. And she did put some books in there too. ? I primed it… I did use a drop cloth! Incidentally, the little stool next to the bookshelf is from my Buy Nothing group.

“How to Live Large and Have Fun”, “How to Spend Millions on Credit and Never Pay a Dime”, “Live Large and On Charge…Cards”, “Living High on the Hog: The Art of Budget Busting”…these are all titles of fictitious books, but they might as well be bestsellers. Buy Store Brands. Used Doesn’t Mean Abused. Don’t know how to cook?

Get rid of anything (clothes, toys, furniture, seriously, anything!) you don’t use or love anymore and embrace your inner minimalist. Use those walls! Maximize your square footage by forgetting the floor and using all that vertical space! Use built-in stuff. Get some multi-use furniture.
