Pinspired!

One thing I collect is crosses. I love them. To me they are just beautiful and I have a wall dedicated to my collection. I'm obsessed with Pinterest (who isn't?). So when I came across a DIY cross [original site here.] made from magazine strips (which I had a ton of unread magazines laying around) I decided I'd take a shot at it. Turned out, it was a little longer of a project than I was hoping for and didn't come out exactly like the one I found but I love the finished product anyhow.

 I'm planning on making another one only the second will be much smaller.

DIY Chalkboard table

Another Pinterest find that I have been meaning (I seriously have a million projects in mind at any given moment) to make. 

I had Ryan make a table from a pallet he got from work.

I painted the sides and legs a burnt orange (LOVE!)

After painting the top with chalkboard paint and waiting 3 days (suggested wait time), I think Nicolas is pretty happy with his new table! ...and I am too :)
