Great job, but don't u have trouble with things falling in between the boards?
Pretty! May I ask the color of your stain??
Love it!!!
'Currently don't have have' guess I should have proof read comment
Sooo darn cute!!!!

This is a nice table. but I think adding slats in between would of helped. Just a tip
Nice ! I love working with pallet wood !
Love upcycle & recycle
Beautiful
Super cool coffee table ...I love it ...just wished I had a big living room for it ...great job !!!
Just in case this hasn't been said already, if you're picking up pallets somewhere and using them in this or any other INDOOR project, make sure you're checking to see how they were treated. By this, I mean that most pallets are treated to kill any insect infestations. Some are chemically treated, some are heat treated. Only use those that are heat treated for indoor projects. The others are usually treated with the pesticide, Methyl Bromide, and this is highly toxic. Methyl Bromide has been banned in many countries due to its dangers. Heat treated pallets will be branded with an "HT", and sometimes KD-HT, which means Kiln Dried - Heat Treated. Use these in your craft projects! Methyl Bromide treated ones should be marked with an "MB". MB treated pallets should also not be burned as the smoke is then toxic. Be safe and have fun repurposing!!

Love this! The color is even perfect for my room.
Love it. Iam gonna try making one tks so much
Hello all, if you're looking for a small and economical outdoor coffee table, this is the project for you! I made this DIY wood and paver coffee table last year, and we're already enjoying it again this year.For exactly measurements, a cut list, and a guide for pocket hole placement, check out the link at the end of this post by my profile photo! :)Here is a picture of some of the base built. You can see that I designed it so that the pocket holes are all hidden—yay for not having to fill pocket holes!
I had made a previous post where I used a natural stain that made fresh wood look like barn wood and there were a lot of questions about the stain so I thought I would do a post on how to make your own stain from items found in your kitchen. I went out to look for a cheap wood table to use for my tutorial, i really wanted to illustrate what difference a good stain could make to a simple pine table. I wasn’t able to find any in the stores that would work so I quickly whipped one up the other night. The video is about wood staining but I threw in the pictures about how I made the table for anyone interested in making one themselves Building the Table: Step 1: Gather your supplies

This upcycled mantel shelf is a great example of how you can get the exact look you want for your home and still save a ton of money while doing it!I found this piece while browsing my local Salvation Army store.
This is a BIG and expensive project! We have several retaining walls on our property that need to be redone. The photo below shows just one of the walls that is falling down (we are looking at the lower wall, light green wood). We decided to tackle these walls one section at a time, as money and time allow. If you are looking for a way to build/replace retaining walls, doing this yourself will take time and muscle, but save you thousands of dollars. (By the way, the fenced in "boxes" up above are our raised garden beds. We live in a forest and the removable fence panels keep the deer and critters out beautifully!)
Try this high impact, budget friendly bedroom idea from Haute House Love. Learn how to build a faux headboard with ease using minimal materials and spending only $100.This past fall I took my master bedroom from drab to fab.

It was a super easy project that took about 6 hours to complete from start to finish. click here for the full blog post, product links + sources
It's a true sign of summer approaching when you've pressure washed the back patio! We couldn't wait a moment longer... within hours, my son and I enjoyed lunch out there... but using a crappy old sawhorse for a coffee table was a fix that was a little too quick! We needed to ramp up our experience. With the quick addition of a little pallet wood and a cool stencil, this did the trick! Here's how...
Even after hubby (my enabler) said no more project pieces, he sent me the link to a coffee and end tables for sale. By the time he got home from work, I had already picked them up and sanded the tops down. 😊

Here we have a perfect suggestion for you to stay on budget while getting the coffee table.

We were lucky enough to find an old railroad cart table at a local antique store with the original boards still attached to it! It looked pretty rough when we bought it, but we knew we could transform it and make it into something really special for our downstairs game room. We wanted an antique railroad cart table to use as our coffee table down there since we are trying to make it into a vintage game room eventually. So we knew when we saw this table, it was the one for us! I thought I would go ahead and share this easy DIY process with you all in case you find a similar table and want to transform it as well.

We had two shelving units in our living room to store books and DVDs. I painted them to fit in with the room as they were previously an orange tone of wood. However, having the DVDs on display didn’t fit in with the decor, constantly looked untidy and small children always pull them off the shelves. So I decided to construct cupboard doors to turn the shelf into a cupboard to hide them away.
The hubby got the idea from Pinterest after searching for some wood storage sheds. We have a fire pit we built a few years ago in the backyard, and the firewood was currently being stored on the ground next to the shed. He thought it was messy and wanted to tidy it up a bit and I couldn't have agreed more.
Spring is a time of new beginnings; for this reason, as soon as the temperatures start to warm up, I start new projects such as DIY crafts, gardening, and cooking. I had a stack of pallets, so I decided to make a pallet wood project; I also wanted it to be an easy project. I know how much fun my pallet bunny has brought my spring and Easter decor, so I wanted to make some to share.See how to make a gorgeous bow HERE. A DIY standing bunny from pallet wood would be a fun DIY Easter project. Therefore I made a pattern from the bunny I made last year. These standing bunnies are perfect to greet my family and guests. Therefore, I know these will make someone else happy too.
We don't know what it is about tree stumps that we love so much - maybe the natural texture, the joy of reusing materials, or the fact that they're completely free. Whatever the reason, we LOVE them, and we know you do too, which is why we collected some inspiring and crazy cool pictures of tree stump upcycles that you'd better not miss! 1. Tree Stump Planter
This project is sponsored by Upstart Epoxy, however, the thoughts & opinions are always my own. I only share products & companies I absolutely love with yall! Build A Custom Table Top Using Epoxy Resin & LED Lights Y’all this has got to be one of the coolest DIY’s I have ever done!And it all started because of a broken patio tabletop.This gorgeous patio set was purchased a little while back & the glass on the coffee table portion completely shattered, along with my heart.Lucky for me my DIY partner in crime decided this was a great opportunity to kick this outdoor furniture up a notch with a DIY table top using wood, epoxy, & wait for it…..LED lights!
I don't know about you, but I LOVE live edge furniture. Unfortunately, live edge furniture doesn't leave a lot of room for creativity, you basically just buy a slab of wood, throw some legs on it and call it a life.Or, at least, that's what I used to think.Join me in this post as I try to tackle putting a unique spin on a piece of live edge furniture in this coffee table build.If you'd prefer to watch this project as a video you can do that by clicking the YouTube link, OR, you can scroll down and read it too!
Have you ever made such beautiful dyed Easter eggs that you just wanted them to last forever?To me, there’s nothing like decorating with real dyed eggs. But unfortunately you can’t keep traditional hard-boiled, dyed Easter eggs.But there is a way to use real dyed eggs in your decor. Years ago I learned how to blow the egg out of its shell so I could dye or decorate the shell to keep for my Easter decor year after year.And it’s so easy to do!
So we've been in our house for over four years now! Amazing how time flies. Over five years since we lost our home to wildfire - I can't believe it. Every little DIY has made this home we bought feel more like the home we have always lived in. One of our big projects was the kitchen. Check out the "before" pic... pretty, but a little too much "fru fru" for me.
Today I am sharing a project that we did when we renovated our Laundry/Mudspace at the lake. I wanted to add some texture so we made an accent wall made from rope. Yes, you heard that right. We DIY'd an accent wall out of rope.

The windows are two different sizes, which adds a nice contrast to this space.

A big thank you to Timberchic for sponsoring this post! A few weeks ago I created a small man cave. More like a corner really. Just a small wall that I designated as a music “room” for my husband and his 12,000 guitars.But when I was done? The rest of the space felt… flat.See, in creating the music wall, I’d drawn a whole lot of attention to how boring the plain white walls in the rest of the space really were.Luckily, I had the perfect solution...In this post, I’ll show you how to install a peel and stick wood plank wall using Timberchic river-reclaimed wood planks. Using basic tools, you’ll be able to complete this DIY in a single afternoon once your planks have acclimated!The BeforeHere’s a true before to give you an idea of what I started with. Hello endless white walls of blah.(Yes, this was taken at Halloween.)
I planned to use an Easter themed paper plate with the words “He is Risen” that I had found recently at Hobby Lobby, to make a grapevine wreath for a challenge. The grapevine wreath reminds me of the crown of thorns that Jesus was forced to wear during his crucifixion. And so I think it is appropriate to pair it with the Resurrection themed paper plate.

You might be surprised how easy it is to repair the cane chair seat of your bentwood with just some ordinary household tools.We have a whole set of Thonet bentwood chairs that my parents bought in 1978 and 1981 (how do I know? the year is stamped on the chair underneath the seat).These classic cane chairs are perfect in our kitchen. With all this use, we’ve had to periodically repair a seat here and there, even though we have been putting chair cushions on them.First, I would take those Thonet chairs to repair shops. But now that I have repaired a few cane chairs myself, I just want to share with you how easy it actually is.You will not need any special tools or skills for this repair. Hopefully, this tutorial inspires you and gives you the confidence to try to tackle more DIY repair projects in your own home!
*This post is sponsored by GBC. All thoughts and opinions are my own*Shredders are a fantastic way to get rid of secure materials, but they aren’t always the best looking or fit nicely into the decor. Since I’m all about beauty AND function over here, I decided to create a much cuter way to house my function driven shredder. Here is the tutorial of how I made a DIY end table to house my new shredder. Let’s get started!Before: The reason for building the DIY end table
Easter/spring is a great time to be creating with fun colors.They’re just so cheerful, especially this time of year.In between the cold grey winter and the warm green spring. We’re in the damp and brown stage right now. lol. Very boring.So, this is a perfect time to be creating something quick, easy, inexpensive, and colorful.
This post is sponsored by ClosetMaid. All opinions are my own.We love a lot of elements of our little, old house, but the tiny closets are not one of them. We wouldn’t call ourselves fashion people by any means (most of our day-to-day pandemic wear is paint-stained project clothes, if we’re honest) but after a quick weekend closet makeover with ClosetMaid’s SuiteSymphony system, we feel like we’re shopping in a cute little boutique every time we get dressed.You can also get more DIY tips and hints at our blog Shoe Makes New.
Here I go again with a great find during a hunt for the right hutch. I scored this beauty while looking on offer up. Now let’s see what it looked like when I started.
That's where the wheels come in handy.
You put a piece glass on the top
You could also attach screen the underside of the top, would give you the same look as you won’t see it and keeps everything small from falling through.
Yeah. Carol Cole, I wondered the same thing. My thought was to put a glass top on it. Keeps things from falling through and keeps the aesthetic value as well. great job, overall.
Or add small strips of wood in between the slats stained the same or a slightly lighter color! Awesome! I'm making this!
