How do I finish my dresser made out of wood pallets?

Question

and chest of drawers just from wood pallets. I want the drawers to pull in and out so I know other small hardwear will be involved. When I'm finished with this, providing there's someone that will be kind enough to give me some direction... I'm totally in the dark! My plan is to upholster it, now that I can handle.

I don't know where you are located, but there are always an abundance of dressers available (thrift shops, craigslist), etc) that are priced very cheaply. Regardless of your skill level you will be way ahead by repurposing/reviving an existing dresser than starting from scratch. The engineering and construction is essentially done. Hometalk has a plethora of ideas.- paint, decoupage, cover with pallet wood, etc.

HI Gretchen,

There are several dresser from pallets ideas online. A lot of them don't have instructions though. Here's one that has some instructions and measurements. I'm not sure that it's exactly what you are envisioning, but hopefully it will help you figure out what you need to do. Wishing you the best! - Linda
