Pallet Jack


There are so many things you can do with pallets! 

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.

Then we installed four casters to the bottom of the table. Luckily we found a pack of four casters on clearance at Home Depot for $14.00. Sweet!

Now we have more storage for our magazines and books! Keeps clutter off the table and it stays neat and tidy!

The overall cost of this project was only $14.00 for the casters we purchased at Home Depot. Everything else we had on hand. Not too shabby!

I think our English Bulldog, Roxie approves. What do you think?

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?

    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
