made it // wood pallet coffee table

Hey friends! As you can see I don't have a new Make It today. We're going with something we've made before and sharing that with you. Hope you don't mind! 

Over a year ago, Husband made us a wood pallet coffee table. We are business neighbors with a local office supply shop so we get to see lots of pretty pallets. This also explains all our pallets turned displays in our shop! 

Anyways, there are several ways to go about making a pallet coffee table, but this is how we did ours:

1) We found a clean wood pallet 2) Attached furniture legs found at our local hardware store. 3) Ordered glass to go on top of our table. We decided to have our pallet upside down so we could put items like books, coasters, and our remotes inside and keep the top clean but have our items visible. 

I love this table so much. And it's fairly inexpensive! The most expensive piece was the glass of course. The pallet was free, legs were $12 and the glass was $50. It's a fun diy project if you need a new coffee table with some character. 

Have you made anything with wood pallets? 
Enjoy your Monday!

at the shop...

We love wood pallets and all the awesome things you can make with them!

Not only are they a free source of wood but you are giving them

new life. 

Here's a look at how we use pallets in our shop.


This is part of our greeting card display. The string of lights on the
pallet adds a great ambiance to our shop. 

Here we have a wood pallet for our headband display.

We used a pallet here as a partition. On the other side we attached

pegboard so we could use it to hang merchandise.  

Here we are using a pallet for our window display backdrop.  

Riley put together a simple table for us at the shop. 

And here is our coffee table at home. For this table he sanded it, 

added coffee table legs and a glass top. We can place

our remote, coasters and books in the center part. 

**When looking for pallets be sure to look for solid wood pallets that
have been untreated. Also avoid pallets that have been shipped
from overseas. These usually are chemical treated.
You'll want to clean and sand your new wood pallet and let sit in 
the sun for a week before using; especially if it will be in your
home or anywhere people will come into contact with it.  


2 things I would love to do next with wood pallets: 


1. An accent wall for our shop

2. a headboard 

Have a lovely Tuesday!
