So I have moved to Pullman, Washington. No Pullman is NOT near Seattle. It is on the Idaho border about and hour and twenty minutes south of Spokane. It is a tiny town with a school (Washington State University) and not much else. I moved here to go to said school for 3.5 years to get my Masters degree in Architecture. More on that in a later post...
To the point Amanda...
We have moved into a cute little two bedroom unit in the middle of a triplex. It is small but we are trying to make it homey(sp). I have done a good job turning my college furniture into adult furniture and I am quite certain my unit looks WAY better than all the other college students in our complex. You should have seen the couch our neighbors moved in yesterday...YIKES! In order to make our place nice and organized I needed some bookshelves. As much as I would LOVE to run to the nearest Pottery Barn (1.5 hours away) and buy the best looking bookshelves in the place, the budget does not warrant it. Hey I'm a college student again I have little to no money, but I promise this time not as much Ramen. This is where my best friend Craig's List comes in. I LOVE Craig's List. Sure people have used it for random liaisons and lets face it murder, but I have used it to sell old electronics and even find this great apartment. So naturally, being on this tight budget, I turned to my old friend Craig's List to find some decent looking inexpensive bookshelves. It took a few weeks but I did find the perfect selves for the space for $25.00! (and a matching DVD case that I have no clue what to do with) But hey, you can't beat that price. So here are the before and after shots of my wall.
From dull...
To full...
What an improvement for very little money :)

Look at what my friend did to her DVD shelf- just an idea if you have this kind.
