{Weekend} a day late

Did anyone else feel like this yesterday? Rock just wanted to tuck his head under and go back to bed, which was exactly how I felt! Especially when I got into my car and the whole screen with controls and navigation was black :( Dora is headed back to the dealership today, and hopefully they will get that fixed.

We had a wonderful weekend! It was nice to be at home and get a little organized and catch up on laundry, until we ran out of detergent....oops! My life is back to normal again, or at least my normal. It is organized and slowly by slowly getting more organized and doing the little things I have wanted to for the past 8 months! :) 

First things first: we built our wine and liquor shelves! They turned out great if I do say so myself!

1- Find a pallet

2- Cut the pallet to look like the picture above. We measured 13 inches from the bottom

3- place a 1x4 (I think) on the bottom for the base

and woo-laa there you have a wine shelf. We hung them with hercules hooks!

The liquor shelf we kind of came up with on our own, and was a little more difficult. Once you have cut the pallet you must get off the front board, and that my friends is not an easy task. But no worries, we got it! Once the front is off you either take off another board from the pallet or find a 1x6 and place on bottom to hold the liquor! This one has no front so the liquor bottles will fit! 

The tearing away of the pallet--not easy

I also made our inside pups name plates for their prospective eating area~ They turned out cute!

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I know we did! I have now completed day 4 of insanity, and am on day 5 today! I have a hectic schedule and life, so I printed off the calendar and am marking off the days as I go, I took my day off on Sunday, so I have 5 more days until my next day off. I am really enjoying it, and how it makes me feel! And yet again, we have a very busy week, but I will keep getting my workouts done! :) 

Happy Tuesday!

A little re-decorating

 "I throw my hands up in the air sometimes"

Whew! It is almost Friday!! I know Rock is excited, just look at him! :) I hope everyone has fun plans! I will be at home cooking a little for the workers, and doing some good ol' crafts! You see, when we moved in to our house and my BIL moved out, he left 4 big mounts in the living area because he did not have a place to put them, and we did not have enough stuff to fill the space-- so it worked out grand! Well he just packed up and moved out to Colorado for hunting season and for good, which meant the mounts all went with him leaving us lots of space.

So this kicked my creativeness into overdrive. Pinteresting began! With the recent tornando, we have a ton of scrap wood lying around everywhere and I plan to use that to my advantage. So I will be doing a bunch of little projects this weekend for the casa! Our first project was to move our cross wall from the kitchen to the living area to fill up the space where the wine/liquor rack was and then we will hopefully build 2 wine/liquor shelves this weekend for the kitchen

I also finished this little project last night as well! Remember the post last week with Mail holder ideas? Well tada here it is! Best part- it was FREE! I made it all from items I had at the house! It will def get the job done for now!

Lastly, has anyone been watching Hard Knocks? GREAT SHOW! I am addicted and cannot wait for football season. It covers an NFL football team and their training camp, this year it is the Dolphins and airs every Tuesday and is showing what happened the week before. So on this week's episode you saw the first pre-season game, a quaterback that is out for a few weeks and why, and CHAD JOHNSTON's arrest and getting let go! So next week should be good also! You will see everyone battling for that spot! Also, a guy I went to highschool with is on there, random.

 

Happy Thursday!
