Great Home Additions on a Budget: Recycled Pallets


Wanting to add an accent wall to the bathroom? Or maybe you want some decorative pieces of furniture that blend well with your historic home? It is time to discover the joy of recycled pallets! These are easy to obtain: you can check with local warehouses, supply stores or craigslist/classified ads. Most of the time they are FREE.

This can also be a great way to gather the wood needed for a remodel project. As you can see, we have some pallets still in tact, and my husband broke down several into usable planks.

There are many projects and inspirations you can find online using pallets, and it is as easy as typing "projects using pallets" into your search engine.

Here are some direct links for project inspiration:

With a little bit of time invested, the possibilities are endless for home improvement while your cost is little to nothing!

We have made items such as benches, tables, accent furniture, storage chests, and decorative signs. We are currently making plans to use pallets for a bathroom revamp, a deck and possibly flooring over some outdated vinyl flooring.
