Repurpose - Reuse - Recycle

A monthly post to (hopefully) inspire you to look at old things in a new way.

Pallets

It never ceases to amaze me what people can do with some old pallets, a little time and imagination, below are a few examples.

I couldn't find a source for this one, but I don't think it would be too hard to work out how to make it. It would look lovely on an outside wall filled with candles, perfect for summer dining outdoors. 

Katie from Farm to Fete has a tutorial for making this simple outdoor bar.

You can find the plans for this retro-style pallet coffee table over at Homedit.

I love this coffee table made by Lexie over at Sustainable Decor.

How about building a swinging day bed, the perfect place to 

while away a lazy summer's afternoon.

Or perhaps build some swings for the little ones.

Pallets are the perfect building material for making compost bins.

They make an ideal solution for storing garden tools.

They can even be turned into a moveable herb garden, Roeshel over at DIY Show Off
will show you how.

Bebs from Foxy Folksy will show you how to turn a few pallets into a container garden.

They can be used to build a potting bench, essential for every gardener.

And they make a great fence for your vegetable garden.

That's it for this month, I will see you all again next month with another Repurpose - Reuse - Recycle post.
