"Pallet-able" Home Decor


While browsing Pinterest the other day, I came across a gorgeous, eclectic coffee table that I just loved.  It was made from wooden pallets, and I thought, "Ryan could make that".  So I showed it to him. 

He had scooped up some free pallets a while back and was excited to have something to do with them. 

This project was super easy and fast - he cut two pallets down to size, then stacked them on top of one another.  He then white washed them with a mix of water and white paint.  Lastly he added the casters so we can roll it to the side for impromptu dance parties. 

It's a very sturdy table, and I love the second shelf , because we can put some of Charlotte's books there. 


It really brightens things up in our living room!


hope you had a great weekend!

  10. How did you secure the two pallets together? Did you use nails or gorilla glue(I love that stuff).

  11. I attached the pallets using 3 inch fine thread dry wall screws and wood glue.

    1. Those are pieces from the pallet. They are basically cut pieces of a 4X4
