Richie got all "Handy Manny" on me this week and organized our storage unit by bending some rebar to hang our bikes on, and then building some shelves with some left over wood! Since we had already borrowed the saw from a neighbor, I had him build me a shelf I saw on "Knock Off Wood" (Amazing website) from an old pallet! Totally free, and turns out really rustic and cool looking. It will go in our bedroom probably above our self-proclaimed reading nook, and I'm debating painting or staining it.
I was lazy and ill-prepared and didn't get the Mother's Day gifts in the mail till it was too late to make it to them on time. So later, I'll post the neat idea I found for their gift, so as to not spoil the surprise, and the cafe rio salad recipe. yum!!

What a cool way to put old suitcases to good use! AND way to go Richie! Loved the bike hanger and the pallet shelf! The pallet shelf actually looks better than the ones I saw on Knock Off Wood! If you're asking for opinions on how to finish it......I'd stain it. Then if you don't like it, you could always paint it later.
Dont let Miles drive away! Did you ever hear that story of Uncle Brad's? if not, have him tell it to you sometime :) it will make you chuckle. btw, I loved Mile's contribution to the conversation yesterday on the phone with Ross :) made me laugh every time!
Those shelves are pretty neato. Old suitcases seem to be the "thing" lately, so they're not so easy to find anymore. Good job finding one. :)
Good job being productive. Great finds at DI. James will love coming over to play with those balls. =D
Suitcases ARE popular these days. You know when you feel like you "discovered" something? I know I didn't, but I can't help but feeling responsible :)
