Desk redo

I repainted an old desk a few years ago, but never got around to figuring out what to do for the pulls/handles. I liked the old original, but they were falling apart. And, I never found a good alternative.

Before:



It's past time for a quick fix!

After:

Why do I think a pallet fence is a good idea? Well, you can find pallets around town for FREE! Fences are pricey...so, this is definitely economical.

I found a nifty site that gives you directions on how to go about putting a pallet fence together.

New living room rug

Love the design...love the color...not sold on how much dog fur sticks to it. Lots of vacuuming in James' future (cause I'm preggers, remember?!).

We got the rug from rugsusa.com.
