Below are some pallet creations my husband has made over the last couple years for our house. If you are not sure where to find pallets look along the road on garbage day or ask a local store that has a lot of pallets. Many times they are willing to sell them very cheap. We are fortunate because my husband passes a pallet shop on his way to work and every so often they will have pieces in the dump he retrieves.
The top of this side table was made from pallets. The legs and side pieces were made from wood my husband had in the garage. The wood was distressed by a torch, hammer, and hitting it with a chain. Then it was stained and covered with couple coats of water-based polyurethane.
The table was inspired by the coffee table we purchased at a store made of reclaimed wood, see below:
We also have two shelves made of pallets:
My favorite piece was designed for my craft room. I love this one because it stores my yarn perfect and I still have room to put more stuff on it!
I hope the next time you pass a pallet you pick it up and make something of it. It is a cheap way to add furniture to your house, plus keeps it out of the landfill.
Keep on junkin'!
