Outdoor Sofa made from Pallet Wood

Inspired by Donna from Funky Junk Interiors, we decided to make a version of her pallet sofa, only full size!! It cost us about $120 to make our custom outdoor sofa from pallet wood and a trash-picked futon frame. Please come and read all about it: http://www.theironstonenest.com/2011/09/tra....

We waterproofed the wood with Thompson's Water Seal and the pillows are made with outdoor canvas material. Visit the blog post to read more about all of the details!

    The boards on the back look like a city skyline...how cool would that be to paint them black with various lit up yellow painted windows on them? I love this!! You could even make a recycled moon from metal to put part way up behind it......darn it..now I'm inspired to make one!

    Great rustic or country look. For a city setting, I think I'd be inclined to paint the back boards as sky scrapers. What a great sofa!

    I realize you were looking for "rustic" here...but I still would have sanded the back boards, simply because I've worked with pallets for years and those small pillows are not going to protect your arms from the splinters...LOL Other than that it is a Fabulous design!

    Thank you everyone for your incredible comments. We love this sofa, especially because it's full size and very easy to relax on.

    Sharon W from Memphis - all of the wood was sanded before it was protected. I apologize if that wasn't spelled out our post about building it. I'll add it to the instructions.

    Thanks again everyone and please email me at theironstonenest@yahoo.com ...»

    if you build one. I'd love to feature it on my blog! Happy Summer! Laura
