Pallet Shelf

A few weeks ago I came across this awesome blog Knock Off Wood. It is basically plans for building your own furniture, mostly Pottery Barn inspired furniture. We have been working on a big project that is almost complete, look for pics soon... But yesterday I decided I needed to build some of these pallet shelves. I love them, and will be making several more for our house this weekend (as soon as Mike brings home more pallets!) And I did it all by myself! Well almost, I needed a little help cause the wood was warped, but if it hadn't been I would have done it all by myself!

Kid Table MakeOver

the

before:

(The table use to have a top like the chairs, but it got ripped off a while ago.)

and

the

after:

I love it so much- soo much better than before, and the table top is chalkboard paint!! :)

Changing table makeover

Cloth diapers take up a lot more space then disposables, and since I just reused old storage containers they looked pretty messy on the shelves. So I decided to buy some fabric that would go w/ our room (where the table is) and hemmed it and stapled it on.


Much better! Yes it also helps when you pick the crap up off the floor!

Snow Day Pants

We had a snow day months ago and I decided to make the boys some comfy pants...Eli's are from an old t-shirt material pillowcase Rowan's is some scrap flannel w/ construction trucks on it.

Baby Slings

I made the boys baby slings for Christmas, I found the pattern in this book. They were surprisingly easy to make- so I won't feel too bad if they hardly ever play with them... Rowan always wants to "wear" kitty whenever I have Eli in a carrier and I did try making him a Mei Tei last year- remember? But these turned out much better than that one!
