If I go longer than a month or so without making something out of pallet wood, I start to go into withdrawal. Signs of pallet wood withdrawal include staring at pallets on the backs of trucks and behind industrial buildings for longer periods of time than are appropriate...so long in fact that the car behind you at the stop light starts honking. Other signs include: sighing wistfully when passing stack of pallet wood in garage and pinning an abnormally high volume of pallet wood projects on ...

New Floors!
I still remember the first time we walked into this house. We had been house-hunting in the area for awhile, but we hadn't really found anything that really felt right. When the realtor opened the door to this place, something just felt right. It felt right, but there were many, many, many, many things that we knew we'd want to change.

Decorating With Garage Sale Finds (The one where I profess my love for garage sales…again.)
Summer is my favorite season for like a bazillion reasons, but high among those reasons is the fact that garage sales pop up everywhere around town on the weekends. I'll find myself innocently driving to the grocery store, and before I even know what is happening, I'm pulling into a stranger's driveway... It's a scene that gets replayed over and over, and at 3 years old, Miss L. is already rolling her eyes and groaning when she sees a garage sale sign on the side of the road. I'm secretly ...
