Baby Danilo's Pallet Toy Box

We are so excited that we have so many friends that are having babies. Not only because we get to swoon over the tiny little hands and feet but that we also get to make them one of a kind, creative gifts.


A few weeks ago we made our friends newborn, Lucas, a name coat rack for his room. You can find it here if you missed it. We had such a fun time making it that we were really excited to make baby Danilo's blanket box.


We had some left over pallet wood from other projects and put them the good use. We made sure to clean and sand down the wood really well to make sure the wood doesn't splinter. We had to be sure to make it as smooth as possible.


After building the frame with 1x2's and MDF for the bottom, we cut and attached the pallet wood. It took about three coast of grey spray paint and two coats of poly to smooth it out.


I love the details of the "D" and the spaceship. We popped some casters on and voila!

An Amazing Solution for Dry Hands and Feet

I don't know about you but the winter is extremely harsh on my sensitive, Irish skin. With all of the building, woodworking and painting we do, my hands continually get worse and crack. I usually resort to using Aquaphor but it tends to make my hands greasy and I can only put it on before bed, with gloves.

I recently found out about O'Keeffe's Working Hands and Healthy Feet creams and they have been such a life saver lately. Since we both have full time jobs that require us to interact with a lot of people daily, we just cannot have dry, cracked hands when we are shaking clients hands - not professional!

Since we love it so much, we have decided to offer a tub of Working Hands, a tub of Healthy Feet and an O'Keeffe's t-shirt to one lucky winner. Trust me, you will want this to get through the rest of the winter!
