During his spare time, my wonderful husband has been hard at work, building creatively with pallets.
The much needed bench was created by cutting two 4-board pallets into pieces.
The cut sides were then placed against the brick wall and a nice thick quilt for a cushion.
He also spent several hours creating a coffee table lid for my beloved washtub.
Add an old metal tray (spray painted white) and we now have a lovely spot to drink our morning coffee, rest in the shade with some iced sweet tea during a warm afternoon, or maybe just sit and enjoy the sound of a rare desert rain shower!
Have you ever made anything out of pallets?
What are your ‘Do It Yourself’ plans for this weekend?
Stay tuned for another how-to post about the folding patio chairs my husband built!
(I need to take better “during construction” photographs for a step by step tutorial!)

How fun! Love the look of knocked together pallet furniture. But my husband is all snobby about it and won’t run it through his power tools/table saw for fear of a missed nail

I love that your puppy is in nearly every post! Just like a herding dog to always be under foot and near their people

Cute! Your craftiness never ceases to amaze me. Now all you need is a pallet garden!

I dont know if you know this or not, but being in Texas means that you can garden about 10 months out of the year! We’re stationed at Barksdale, but I’m from Texas, and last year I planted tons of lovely flowers in October!
