I made a garden bed for my patio out of my wood pallets.

Hi Beth!
First, love the post, I am inspired to create some sweet pallety things myself. My problem comes from not being able to find any pallets to work with. Does anyone have some recommendations on where I could buy some? I called a few stores, but no one carries them thus far. I live in Birmingham, AL.
Thanks!
Ken
Christine Mccombs says
Lots of great ideas! Just remember to check and see if they’ve been treated. You don’t want that in your house! Great for outside things.
Reba says
I love these ideas. We are making tables out of them too. You also can take the wood spool you get for big cables and cut the bottom off and put an umbrella and have an outdoor table. Just make sure you put a sealant on it to keep it looking great.

kelly says
those are so fabulous!!! have you heard that they are treated with chemicals like termite treatments? i don't want to bring something bad into my house. do you seal it with something? just wondering, i really want to do something sometime!
also do you just pick them up behind stores? i never know if they are for the taking or not:)

Jo - To a Pretty Life says
Those are some great ideas. I used Ana White's idea for making shelves, except I made them shorter to fit in my bathroom. I also had a different type of pallet. http://toaprettylife.blogspot.com/2010/10/unexpected-art.html
GinaE says
Great ideas here, Beth! The dish rack and shallow book shelve, great ideas. The only thing I can't get behind is the antlers as a jewelry hanger…yuck!!!!

Hsppy Easter to you and your family! ~Melissa

This was fun to look at. I can't believe how creative people are with pallets!
Warmly, Michelle
I Dream of Diapers says
I think my favorites are the toy boxes (I see a project on the horizon!), the toddler bed (I'll be needing one of those soon!), the wall coverings and the headboard with "love" written on it. Hmmm… apparently I like them all! My husband was just oggling some pallets discarded behind the local nursery the other day. I should have let him grab them!
The Rusty Bucket says
I can totally see the next big free give-away being a free pellet, you haul;)

Tami / Maddie Lumpkin says
Wow! I've never given pallets much thought.These ideas are amazing!

So I had a dishwasher delivered today and I asked the delivery guy to take the pallet and he told me it was all mine………I am glad now because I have an idea! Thx Beth!

Hi Beth-
What great ideas – many of them are so do-able. I would love to have a pallet table on wheels. Thanks for gathering such wonderful inspiration. I will be looking at pallets in a new way now.
My best- Diane

Beautiful inspiration pics! My SIL had her wedding up at the cottage and hubs and FIL built her dance floor out of pallets. I wish I had a pic. Thanks for sharing.
I'm hosting my monthly Before Blogging Throwback Thursdays party tomorrow and would love for you to share one of your projects from before blogging. Can't wait to see what you bring to the party.
Mary Lemon says
Oh my gosh, I'm so in love with these pallets. Wish I could do some of these projects! Of course I would have to find a pallet, and talk my husband into making something for me! So creative.
paisley penguin says
I just love how many different ways these are used!

I am blown away with the creativity of people. Can you believe all the ideas?! WOW! I am excited to create my own. Thank you so much for sharing. Very Chic & Unique!
Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions says
I didn't realize just how popular, Beth! They remind me of the wood crates that were around so much when I was growing up. They wound up being used for so many different things, too, and had a similar construction {except smaller in size}.
