our weekend project [diy desk for under $100]

 Happy Monday! We spent our Saturday putting together this desk for our office, and it was super easy! First, we bought 2 sawhorses from IKEA. And, after a very helpful over-the-phone tutorial from my dad, we took a trip to Home Depot to get 1"x12" and 1"x8" shelving, which we stained and nailed together and viola! We have a desk!
 I love how much desktop space we have now! (And please excuse all the cords on the floor, I know they're not the prettiest...)
If you have any other genius DIY ideas, feel free to pass them my way!
