SNS #100 - pallets and reclaimed lumber!




Welcome to Saturday Nite Special #100, the multi themed link party! 

* Home Decor
 * Crafts, / Sewing / Recipes
* Theme of the week

Every Fri 7pm  to Sunday 11 pm Pacific.

~ pallets & reclaimed lumber ~

Would you believe I'm not really in love with the look of a pallet? So I generally modify it or just use the dismantled wood to make what I desire. But not always.

Be very afraid. This is my category to a splintered up T.


old gate tutorial


TV stand tutorial




sawhorse ladder pallet desk




farm table styled pallet desk




outdoor pallet sofa




the one board pallet toolbox





Canadian flag pallet bed tray


pallet front step, walk way and white firetruck crate


poolside pallet storage



Pallet garden walkway


If you're a reclaimed board collector like me, you'll also want to read:

All You Ever Wanted To Know About Pallet Wood

Because pallet wood and reclaimed lumber isn't always safe to use.





You can also peek at my own pallet collection Pinterest, above.

    Hey, Donna! As I'm linking up this week I'm telling my husband that we need to pick up some pallets we have access to. He just isn't getting it when I tell him I don't know how I'm going to use them yet! I just want to have them on hand!!! Thanks for all the great inspiration!

    Seriously, you have given me a love for pallets. My husband has about five sitting over at his parent's farm that I am totally going to steal. I asked nicely, but he looked at me like I was nuts. Desperate times, calls for desperate measures! I'm totally making something with some pallets this week! LOL You have such awesome taste!

    Hey Donna, I just came across this pallet idea on Design Sponge, a vertical planter! I'll have to try it next year now that summer is over.

    Love all of your wood pallet projects. We've only made a frame for a fun house mirror and a wood coffin for Halloween out of pallets. We hope to make a creepy halloween wood fence out of pallets this year! :)

    Thanks for hosting.

    Great pictures!! All this wood would be great to use for fencing in calgary. They seem to be building quite a bit up there. Do you know if any fencing companies use this kind of wood?
