BEFORE:
Found solid wood bookshelf on the side of the road, was a little beat up, and dirty. It does look like someone enjoyed this shelf before getting rid of it, and I'm so excited to have found this!

In progress...I was trying to figure out where to put the shelf. I knew where I wanted it to go when I saw it I had to do some rearranging to have it fit best in my sons play area. The blue drawers seen in the picture were where the white shelf is next to the recliner.
Finished (for now)...
I moved the recliner into our living room I moved the blue drawers under my sons bed for some extra storage. I then moved the tool bench in place of the recliner. It opens up the space and gives my son more room to play. This is part of our dining room turned play area, so the more organization the better! We don't have a lot of space and as our children are growing I have
found the need to be creative with the space we have and make each room
have multiple purposes. (More to come on how I have made our kitchen into an eating area/school space.)
My son has a lot of educational toys and I wanted them to be spread out (similar to how I have seen it at the preschool I used to work at), rather than piled together in a toy bin. I am really pleased with how it turned out and how well it cleans up the space.
