Patio Pallet Table and An Awesome Giveaway!

 Hello, sweet friends. Today I am sharing a project that was done in April. It is way overdue but with wedding stuff, I totally forgot to post about it. (#soclosetoamazing) Be sure to read to the end where I have a fantastic giveaway to share with you! Let's get going then, shall we?

Last year when we replanted the backyard from the puppy destruction years, we were left with two wooden pallets. I told Bruce we had to save them. Although he grumbled a little, they finally made their way to the farm where they...sat.

Then I saw this and instantly had visions of a similar one on my patio!

I mean, how cool is that? I didn't need it to hold an umbrella but that color...love!

I was going to make it a lot sooner but my patio isn't big and a full pallet took up way too much room so I needed it cut in half. But at that time, I didn't have the right tools. So again, they sat.

Finally, I ask Bruce if he would make it for me. And he did while I was teaching the Paint and Sip class back in April. (I know, I know. Better late than never, right?)

He cut it in half, added some skinny boards to fill in the gaps and added nice chunky legs. I absolutely love it!

Rustic and lettering! Perfect for a farmhouse.

 And it's so sturdy...it definitely isn't going to blow away or get pushed over by the dogs!

I think I'm going to leave the legs and sides natural and paint the top. I'd really love to add some lime green to my patio and that would look pretty on the top. What do you think? Paint the top or leave it?

I did find a green metal patio chair in Canton. I want at least one 

more of those chairs. I absolutely love them!

Isn't it great? Bruce did such a good job. Perfect for holding your beverage of choice.

And now for the giveaway! If you've been reading along for the past couple of months, you know I'm on KariAnne Wood's (aka Thistlewood Farms) book launch team. She has graciously given me a copy of her book "So Close To Amazing" to give to one of you.

Not only that, but she signed it!!

Let me tell you, if you've ever struggled with perfection but falling sometimes flat on your face, you will absolutely love this book! KariAnne lets you know it's ok not to be perfect! As she puts it,
"Because when you embrace the imperfect you God created you to be, you'll discover the amazing that was there all along."

All you have to do is leave me a comment about a time you tried and came close to amazing -just like me forgetting to post about my awesome pallet coffee table! Then on Monday, I will draw a name from all the comments.

Good luck!
