A Diverse Pallet

by Ree on August 31, 2011

After working in a retail environment for many years, I have learned the value of pallets. They carry large amounts of merchandise with one fell swoop. They are often used for sorting multiple departments of boxes. However their great value, they unfortunately often end up being discarded. With lumber being such a limited resource and our forests being over “forested”, I find this most upsetting.

I came across some excellent DIY projects on the “inter-web” to make use of unwanted pallets. Some of these inspiration ideas are down-right beautiful and can be done so easily! I can not wait to get a house (and out of apartment living) just so that I can do these projects! I think they are genius! I have posted a few pics for your viewing pleasure below:

       
       
       
       
       
       

 

Happy hump day! We are half way to the weekend!

Mod Paisley Curtains

August 25, 2011

Awhile back, I had picked up a partial bolt of crazy paisley that I fell in love with! On one crazy thrifting experience, I had discovered this fabric for a mere $15! At the time, I had no idea what I would do with the fabric but I recently decided to take it and turn [...]

Live a Life Without Regret

January 31, 2011

“Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.” Sydney J. Harris I had an interesting conversation last night about choices. I suppose the conversation led me to think about life. Or perhaps my life leads me to think about [...]

One Drawer at a Time

January 13, 2011

It is amazing how cleaning and getting rid of things can make you feel. It is an emotional roller coaster. There is a sense of peace and order and chaos all at the same time. I feel as if I get so lost in piles and clutter. I feel so disconnected from the world. Lost [...]

Project: Share One…My Mission

January 7, 2011

So many things. I am blessed. I have people I love, I have a family that loves me unconditionally, and I have very little need to want any possession because I have what I need. I see these images of people with very little to nothing. It is on the TV, when I drive down [...]
