I'm not sure why he's such a big Star Wars fan, but he is...that and Lego's. We are working on making an awesome bedroom for him. While gathering some inspiration on Pinterest, I really liked the room colors and stars at the top of … [Read more...]

Gallery Style Command Center

I also wanted to add labels to aid in the organizing … [Read more...]
