With the number of little ones frequenting our house recently, I decided that we needed a set of shelves at their level. I had a space in the hall that was perfect, but finding the perfect shelving was another issue.
Enter: The Recycled Pallet Shelves
For diy and Pinterest fans, these shelves are nothing new, but it was a great first "real wood" project for me. Here is how it happened:
 |
| First I acquired the wood pallets -- free thanks to Freecycle! |
 |
| Next I grabbed my reciprocating saw and made a few strategic cuts. |
 |
By strategic, I mean so that what I ended up with looked like this:
two slats on the back, one on the front, and the curved supporters. |
 |
| Next I grabbed the sander... |
 |
| and sanded the living heck out of every surface and edge. Can't have any chance of booboo's! |
 |
| Found some scrap wood for the bottoms and cut them to size. |
 |
| Nailed down the bottoms. |
 |
| Screwed them into the studs (they're not extremely heavy, but I was playing it safe.) |
 |
| Finally, I filled them with all the necessities. |
|
|
|
 |
| Minnie likes her new hang out. |
 |
| They're a hit! |
Until next time,
