Week 15: April 8-14

Isn't it hard to believe we are over 1/4 of the way through the year already. I find that hard to grasp!

Before getting to couponing, I want to tell you about this FANTASTIC blog I found this week. For those of you that don't know i'm really into collecting junk/collectibles and old stuff and using it in decor. I've recently started collecting old window pains and using them as picture frames (an idea I found on Pinterest). My husband and I also really have feel in love with some of the stuff you can build with pallets. This week I was browsing Pinterest and came across this photo:

I just fell in LOVE with this piece. Turns out if you click on the picture it takes you to this blog called "Funky Junk Interiors". I read the entire blog and loved everything this woman picked up and made from old stuff that was just thrown away. Turns out she's a Christian AND lives in Comox, BC. How cool is that. We are practically neighbors. Turns out that she has a tutorial on how to make this exact pallet bench on her blog. The next day my husband and I went out and got a beautiful cushion at Walmart and some pallets (Home Depot just puts them out back) and started making it. I'll be sure to post a picture when it's all finished. In the mean time enjoy Donna's blog, maybe you'll find some inspiration: http://funkyjunkinteriors.blogspot.ca/.
