Our First Pallet Project: Coat Rack with Shelf

I've had my eye on our big pile of pallets out in the shop building, and showed Handy Husband a few pictures for ideas. Today, he made these wonderful coat racks for me. It turned out to be a super easy job, and pretty cheap too. I think altogether we spent less than $5 per piece: that includes the price of stain, hooks and sandpaper. Not bad at all!
As far as the steps, it was pretty simple. We cut a large section off the end of a pallet, nailed an old piece of 1x6 on the "top" for a shelf, then sanded and stained the whole thing. After it dried we attached the hooks and voila!

Second Birthday: Baby W

Our little man turned two this week. He's growing up so fast! While he's still not really talking very much, he says a few words, like mom, dad, and drink. He also makes specific sounds for certain things such as horse, cow, dog, cat, videos, car, spider. He's very smart and understands everything. He currently weighs 32 pounds, and is 35 inches tall.
