A New Pallet Obsession

I don't think I am alone when I say that I had several pallets posing as furniture in my dorm room back in college... loved the stuff.  Several apartments and houses later, I have never forgotten about the shipping pallet's weathered charms.  The store next door to me, Two Turtle Doves, made this incredible and MOVABLE pallet shelving unit last year that I have been secretly lusting over it ever since.

Lately I have been finding several DIY projects using pallets.. making me realize that they are not just for dorm rooms any longer.  Take a look...

Ashley Ann Photography..  Bed Frames

Re-Nest.. Plate Rack

Stylizimo.. Headboard

Nordhjem.. Coffee Tables

Home Town Girl.. Shelves

Inhabitots.. Toddler Bed

Makes me want to go back to the dorms again and have a do-over.. well maybe not. Enjoy!!

to ask for a belated birthday present??  My birthday was last week and boy I wish I had known about this..

a cake pop maker by The Baby Cakes Shop!  This amazing invention makes 12 cake pops or donut holes in minutes.

 

Put a stick in it and viola, instant happiness!

I am loving my new blog find... design seeds.   Jessica is a color palette guru and I had trouble picking out just a few of her storyboards to show you.  These were my favorites for me..

If you were a walking color palette.. what would it be??

a Yummy weekend

The key to blogging, so I've read, is consistency.  Some of my favorite blogs are rock stars with that notion doing Friday Flowers, Close the Front Door, and Peace Out.  We'll see how it goes!  Have a yummy weekend.
