Make an outdoor pallet sofa that's comfy AND cute!

I didn't use my patio for about a year. Know why? Because it had a table and chairs on it. I just longed for a super comfy long term sit with a good book in hand. So I ditched the table and instead, went for supreme comfort... with a twist.

Not desiring the standard fare of what was for sale, I went about making my own comfy outdoor furniture. And the result? A pallet wood sofa that's not only comfortable, but pretty cute!

The secret to the comfort? It's all about the cushion. Read on for more...

    The base was then planked up, as well as a separate piece for the backer board. Since this sofa stays put, the backing simply leans on the house.

    Love it Donna! It's still too cold here for a Spring porch makeover and we live in the South! Hoping for warmer weather by the end of the week. Love your pillows!
