My son's preschool director ordered this fun shelf for her daughter-in-law for Mother's Day! How sweet and fun for me to get to chop up another pallet for a good cause! This is very similar to another shelf I made and I explained it all there, so if you want the nitty gritty details head ... continue reading

Too Much Time On My Hands - Pallet Wine Shelf - feature

I want to make like 10 of these and just hang them one above the other all over my dining room wall. NO, Ms. Smarty Pants, NOT because I have that much wine, but because I love the chunkiness, the rustic wood, and the stellar color of the finish. I hacked up another pallet to ... continue reading

Business Pallet Sign {Too Much Time On My Hands} feature

A lovely photographer from California, Katie Baldi,  had me make her a 2 sided  sign to hang over the walkway of her new studio. I busted up a pallet (or I begged my husband to bust up a pallet) and reattached the pieces with metal brackets on the sides. I also added the metal eye ... continue reading

I am still on the fence with this one. I chopped up a pallet and painted it orange. I attached some hangers on the back, but the whole shelf wasn't stable, so I needed to come up with something else. I decided to wrap  jute around the shelf and  attach it to a big honker ... continue reading

As usual, I have a couple of pallets in my garage. I begged my husband to pry off the boards so I could make a little sign. I could probably do it myself, but jeeze he needs some reminders that he really is needed around here, right? Last week my 3 year old yelled at ... continue reading

Wooden Pallet Dresser DIY Upcycle, Recycle, Repurpose copy

I still had 6 wooden pallets in my garage from a neighbors sod delivery. They were super happy to get rid of the pallets so easily, but my husband wept as he said goodby to his garage parking space. (I'm exaggerating-kinda). I was tired of hearing his crying, so I got to thinking and came ... continue reading
