We found the perfect pallet on the side of the road. It was already a nice blue color which was perfect for the Union Jack coffee table we had in mind.
We used chalk to map out the flag and added a color code to use as a guide. The coffee table was painted with left over Red, White and Blue paint we had in the garage. Once the paint dried we used an old wash rag to apply a Burnt Umber glaze to give it a more worn look.
Or does she? Hmmmm....LOL
If you are on a budget, don't be shy...go Curbside shopping. Style it up to make it super chic. Have fun with it. You never know what you will end up with. :-)
Until next time.....

This is a great idea. There is an old man who lives down the block who has a bunch of pallets in his yard There has got to be at least 50. Wonder what he does with them? maybe he is making coffee tables?
What a fun idea! I love pallets. there are just s many creative things to do with them. And this is a great example! Thank you for joining TTF and have a fun weekend!

That is such a fantastic idea. I love the pallet re-purpose. Genius.
I love you more than I can say, this is just too much! I have been wanting to do a Coffee Table Pallet table. I have a lovely collection on the side of my house. I love the Union Jack. This is the best! Great work. Link up, link up!
Very, very cool! I love your little dog. British bull dogs are so cute. They always have the "been there, done that" look about them.

All right girls, DYING over THIS!!!!! I am fascinated with pallets and see them lying around everywhere, but how do I actually get one??? Do I just steal it-do they belong to people or places-hahaha? Any professional advice?
XOXO,

This is BRILLIANT! I made a flag this summer on the back of a composter made from pallets. Painted everything white, then wove exterior-grade ribbon in and out to make the blue field and red strips. Yours is even more amazing!

great table, I love England ... good inspirfation for me! thanks! I will follow your blog :)
Was browsing on internet and saw this. Unfortunately not many people know that the blue pallet is the Property of Chep International. It is illegal to have this pallet in your possession even if it is on the side of the road. Just a heads up to all pallet lovers. There is a hefty fine should they find this in your possession. I used to work for CHEP international.
I just love what you have done with the British flag, it looks like a cool "Brandish". And having those pallets in the living room makes your room looks better decorated. I simply looks amazing because this is simply very few have. Im very fan of DIY designs and decoration
Nice DIY table pallet project. I will use mine as frame to my indoor koi pond

What a fantastic idea.This pallet table is amazing. Thanks for sharing this amazing post with us.
