DIY Loft Bed + Desk

Shiplap for under $100!!
I added shiplap to my bathroom back wall and ceiling for under $100! *This post contains affiliate links.* Doing it this way definitely took more time and energy, but I saved A LOT of money by making my own shiplap boards out of 4×8 sheets! If you have a larger budget and want shiplap, I’d…
