While that may be ideal most of the time, I’ve found big projects are filled with opportunities to create lasting family memories.

I keep rolls of paper in one side and a big gift bag filled with other gift bags and tissue paper in the other side.You could even secure it to the wall if you wanted to, but I found it wasn’t necessary at all for me.. I’ve been looking for a good way to store my gift wrap for years and finally I’ve found something that looks good (if you love all that rustic wood, and I do), and is totally functional.

Even though the only rolls of paper I usually have on hand are for Christmas, I think they’re pretty and I like to keep them out in plain view all year so I can enjoy their cuteness..Yes, this back hall/storage area still has weird purpley paint and dark brown baseboards, but that doesn’t mean I can’t have cute storage.. And, don’t go thinking this idea is just for wrapping paper.Just think of the possibilities!

I wouldn’t be opposed to having a whole wall of pallet storage.It’s the easiest “project” I’ve ever done!.

If you have any pallets left over from all of those amazing pallet wood projects I’ve seen out there, give it a try!

I hope it comes in handy!.It was like driving through the opening sequence of classic horror movie as I came home from dropping Kennedy off at school.

But in a good way..There was so much thick, misty, moodiness in the air..

The sky was dark gray, but the air was warm..The ground underfoot was spongy and soft, but the biggest of the snow drifts were still completely intact.. On one side of the creek, Winter.
