DIY Wooden LED Lanterns

Warmer weather means it's time for outdoor projects again, and I couldn't be more excited about it! Since I'm an apartment dweller, I love making projects for my parents' new home - and being that they just got their yard and patio redone, I wanted to surprise them with a pair of outdoor-friendly, wooden LED lanterns. So, I partnered with my friends at T-Rex Tape to make it happen! Did I mention I made them for under $40 for the pair (including the LED strips)? Yeah, you're not going to want to miss this one.

DIY Reclaimed Pallet Wood Nightstand (West Elm Knockoff)

One of the reasons why I started building my own furniture was because I couldn’t afford to buy the pieces I was drooling over in the windows of stores (cue, “how much is that doggy in the window”, but sub “doggy” for “dresser”). That being said, I was pretty stoked when I was asked to join in on a knockoff furniture challenge with a slew of amazingly talented bloggers. Even cooler, our budget was less than $100. So, I made a replica of a $400 nightstand from reclaimed pallet wood and $40 in lumber. Even cooler, I partnered up with my amazing family at DAP Products to turn this vision into a budget-friendly reality!
