Superhero Nursery

We have been trying out our new vinyl printer to decorate the nursery with baby superhero characters. 

They turned out pretty cute :)

Patio Pallet Table

We saw a pallet table on pinterest and decided we could use a table on back porch. We got a couple pallets from my job's trash.

We added an extra 4ft 2x4 on the bottom pallet to give more area to screw the wheels into and used 2" wood screws to attach it to the board next to it. You can see what I'm talking about in the background of the above picture.

Then using 4" screws we attached the wheels to the bottom pallet.

Next, we took a 4x4 and used a miter saw to cut four 15" pieces. Then attached the 4x4 piece to each corner of the pallet by screwing at a down angle from the side of the 4x4 into the top of the pallet. We used the inside of the 4x4s to have less screws showing.
Finally, we put the other pallet on the top and screwed through the bottom board of the top pallet into the 4x4 corners.

and viola!

We are thinking of painting it black but have gotten lots of suggestions to stain it instead.

LSU Refrigerator

We are both LSU fans. D is little more die hard than I. She happen to meet me the day that I was wearing my one complete LSU outfit. We also had a very common need of a second refrigerator.

On to craigslist we went in search of a cheap frig. We got this refrigerator for $100

Just as you do with anything you buy off craigslist we bleached everything we could take out. Also took the doors off.

 

Everything Must Be Cleaned!

 

Then we went to HomeDepot and got LSU purple. They have the exact color btw with their Gidden Team Color match. Before painting we used a mouse sander before we found out that an orbital sander is waaaaaaaaaay better. Definitely go with the orbital sander if you have the option and btw harbor freight has cheap tools for crafty people who aren't looking to sand everything they see.

 

After sanding we taped off the inside of the fridge to keep it white and rolled the fridge purple. We also spray painted all the hinges black and the inside shelves silver. The brown spray is an anti rust spray for the one that was rusted.

 

 

Finally we made the LSU Tiger Eye out of Vinyl which you can buy here. hint... hint...

 

 

 

Our final results:

 

 

 I also bought D one of these through amazon which is an awesome addition to the freezer door: It's a bottle opener that catches the bottle caps with powerful magnets
