Ahh, the classic IKEA cube bookshelf (also known as the Kallax bookshelf if you want to get technical here). This bad boy has been through countless moves, a rotation of different colored storage cubes, and endless abuse after being knocked around different apartments. In it’s “before” state, it’s possibly one of the saddest looking pieces of furniture I own. I mean, just look at this hideous before photo….
I have to admit, this is the first time I’ve had my very OWN Christmas tree and I definitely wanted to go all out (because that’s just how I am). Since I live in Florida now, I decided it was necessary to have a coastal Christmas tree. If you know me at all, this should not surprise you by any means.
