The Right Question

At times in my life I have found that sometimes I have to change the question that I am asking to get the answer that I am looking for.

As many of you know who have been following my blog, last year we started a "project".  Project is a relative term in my world because there is always one in process!  We started on a screen porch on our house.  As soon as we started I began the process of deriving a way to decorate it "just how I wanted". 

I prefer a rustic country look and began to scan pinterest and other sites for any ideas I could find.

Enter the pallet!!!  Filled with ideas and plans I began to collect pallets.  I grossly underestimated how many pallets it would take for each project, but I have a wonderful husband who is willing to find me more pallets as I need them.

Gradually projects began to take shape.  First I made a shelf that still needs to be mounted on the screen porch, but it will be used for holding magazine and other things that need some organized storage.




Then, because I had great need for one, I made a serving tray.  This lets me take things from inside to outside as we need them without making 100 trips.









Necessity continued to be the driving force and I built a garbage can.  I still need to make it a lid, but I am loving that is not just "an ordinary waste basket".

The latest project was a board with our house numbers.  I have struggled for 3 years since we moved here trying to decide how to display our house numbers and this turned out to be just the perfect fix.

So, now we have come to the right question.  The question is not, "What will I do with pallets?"  The question is, "Honey, PLEASE WILL YOU BRING ME HOME MORE PALLETS?!?"
