DIY FURNITURE; Latest Findings

My Oh My!

If you are not already familiar with Pinterest, then you are missing out. PinteLLrest is not just a DIY site, but much much more.

However here are a few of my Latest Findings. 

I absolutely love this pallet idea. You could also add some height and more storage by simply stacking a few pallets together. However, make sure you nail these boards together. 

Tip: No need to buy pallets, you can always find pallets that someone wants taken off their hands. You could certainly try local stores or checkout your local Craigslist or papers. 

Here is another simple use for a pallet!

You could sand the pallet or use it as is.

You could use the natural color or the wood or try staining or painting the piece to personalize it. 

I've seen alot of really cool staining techniques to get different out comes. Explore a little, and dive into the creativity. 

As if this isn't the BEST idea you've seen ALL DAY!

I'll admit I'm absolutely in love. This will be going in my backyard PRONTO!!

Day 2

Think Before You Speak

It's a GORGEOUS day here in Lansing. Temperatures in the High 80's almost reaching the 90's. The sun is shinning oh so bright, make sure you get a dose of your Vitamin D today!

Everyday I wake up and the first thing I do is find a quote, motto, or picture that expresses how I will challenge the day. Today I chose this one. I believe it is important to think before you speak, and to speak with meaning and empathy towards those you come in contact with. 

It's almost 6 o'clock here so the day is almost over now, but do you know how many people I have seen come into my work with frowns on their face and after just a few moments with the slightest effort on my part they walk away having at least cracked a smile once. We may not be able to change someone's day completely, but how hard is it to offer a wonderful smile and just a few moments to talk about the lighter things. 

DAY 2

My First Blogging Experience

Hello World,

For some time now I have been thinking about creating my own blog. But the thoughts of no body viewing my blog always held me back. But today is a new day and I have decided that there is only one way to test that theory and well here I am. Today is Day 1. 

Let me begin by telling you why I have begun blogging. 

I believe that experiences in life are learning lessons, I believe that you can learn a lot from others, and I also believe that you can never stop learning. Whether it be something vital or something small. Whether its just a nifty little trick or one of those life lessons we've learned the hard way.

What I'm trying to say is that I hope that in some way you enjoy my blog and explore different aspects of it. This isn't your typical blog. Every post is sure to be something different. Something that I felt like sharing. I hope you find something that will spark an interest. 

Happy Day!
