My girls passed a delightful little virus along to me (one that resulted in both of them getting pneumonia). It has left me pretty much down for the count. Instead of giving you Wednesday’s usual My Week Through Instagram post, I’ve headed to the archives and am reposting one of my most popular posts: fab ideas for DIY shipping pallet furniture.
I plan on spending as much of the day on my couch as possible, but hopefully I’ll have my Instagram post up for you tomorrow!

DIY Shipping Pallet Furniture Inspiration
It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of both DIY and repurposing otherwise unwanted things (aka upcycling). Combining the two and saving money in the process is enough to make me salivate.
That’s why I’m sort of obsessing over the idea of shipping pallet furniture right now.
Super cheap (just run over to Home Depot and ask if you can take a few off their hands!) and relatively easy, it’s the perfect way to add a unique piece of eco-friendly furniture–that is sure to be a conversation starter–to the rest of your decor.
The key is adding details that dress up the wood so that your friends and family have to do a double take to realize what it’s made out of. It will make it so much more rewarding!

I love that the pallets have built-in storage space. It makes it that much easier for those of us who weren’t shop class superstars (that would be me) to create something really functional–without pesky trips to the ER.
