Pallet Table Projects

Who decides they want to build a pallet entryway/console table at 9PM? This gal!
Our upstairs hallway is pretty plain and boring, we've had a tall wood shelf sitting in the little nook since we moved in over a year ago and I guess yesterday I decided it was an eye sore. So off to pinterest I went, looking for ideas on how to make and design a small and skinny table to fit along the wall.

Here is our before cabinet which is now sitting in our office waiting to find a new home.

Justin my husband got the Best Husband award last night for helping make this rustic beauty, we finally finished it up around 11 PM. He's a keeper right? ;) The previous owners of our home had left behind 3 pallets in the basement which I've slowly been getting used up with projects around the house. Here is the sign I made for my mom for mothers day this year.

Now, back to that pallet table. Here it is all decorated with some primitive touches.
The table runner I made from scrap fabric I had left over from some throw pillows. Fabric was purchases at JoAnn's Fabric store. 

Dreaming of a craft room.

At the moment my tiny little craft space is sharing the smaller bedroom with our office. Hopefully when we finish off our basement I'll be able to make that dream come true of having my own craft oasis. Until then I'll keep on dreaming, and keep on pinning :)

I love the look of white, it's so clean and then paired with pops of color; so fun!

A super easy desk to make which I've seen on pinterest is taking 2 small bookshelves and a simple piece of wood to make the table top.  Unfortunately our "office" room is took small for a big table like this right now. 

Adding that pop of color using the desk chair. If you can't find a cute one at a reasonable price a good idea would always be to hit up the antique malls and get a cheapy and repaint it your desired color.

Guest Bedroom color palette

Guest bedroom color palette.
An idea of what I'm trying to go for, for our extra bedroom which right now is the guest bedroom but will one day (hopefully within the next 2 years) be a nursery. At that point I'd still like to stick with this similar theme, something that is gender neutral.

As of right now this is our guest bedroom. Hoping to get rid of the day bed once we find a nice twin sized bed frame. I'd really like to find a nice antique spindle bed.

Here are some color schemes I really love! Just something about this bright cheerful colors.

Half bath makeover

Our downstairs half bath was a spontaneous project I threw on myself this morning at 6 AM! Yepp, you read right, what else is there to do when you can't sleep? We had extra paint left over from painting the master bedroom so I decided to tackle the beachy blues! When we moved into our first home about a year ago I tried to work with what we had. The baby blue walls, and sandy colored hardwoods floors left only one theme to go with; BEACH! So I acquired some light house photo frames, nautical decor, and got to it. The more I looked at it the more I hated it. Our entire first floor is primitive decor so I wanted to stick with that theme. 

When we first moved in we installed a toilet paper hold which this bathroom didn't have, along with replacing the light switch plate which was a light house and did a dark wood plate.

Valspar - Aired Plaines is the color we used in both our master bedroom and the downstairs half bath.

To decorate I used what I had around the home. Dollar Store carnations put in a Ball mason jar with lace around the brim. I had plenty of extra fabric left over from making pillow covers for the living room so I measured and cut a piece to drape over the toilet. The photo frames are 4x6 from Walmart and the quotes are ones I just searched for on Pinterest. 

I have to give myself a pat on the back for this, I don't usually take on painting projects alone, but I feel very accomplished and happy with the results! 

Repurposed Pallet Projects

Have some extra pallet's laying around? We had about 4 in our basement when we moved into our home, and I'd hate to just throw them out, so I did a search for some great ways to repurpose those pallets.

My favorite one I've found is making a sign for our wedding ceremony that says "Pick a seat not a side" I plan to make using one of our pallets and just painting it white.
I'm also really into wall decor` here lately so I'm loving the pallet art that's been shown across pinterest, especially the last photo I've listed.

Have any of you repurposed a pallet? What did you make? Share with us!
