Transformed… From Pallet to Bench

Here is what I have been working on this past week.

We had a pallet left over from some stone work we did in the backyard

a couple of years ago.

It's been sitting up against the house and my husband has continually threatened to burn it or throw it away.

But I knew there was something special about it...

Yes...it was terribly weathered at this point.

Splinters...Rusty Nails...Ahhh...

A Dream Come True!

Well...out came the saw and with the help of my hub...

it was time to transform!

I had a picture in my head of what I wanted and went around looking for scraps to make it happen.

Luckily, we also had some deck work done a couple of years ago and I found some old scrap posts in the garage.

Yippee!!

We also had some scrap 2x4's laying around and I'm thinking... SUPPORT!

The next thing I know,

I'm drilling and hammering all over the place!!

What fun!

Do ya see where I'm going with this? And no... it's not a headboard.

I know you see it now!!

(((Sigh))) Isn't she a beaut?!

Well, my hub was not so sure about that... but I was.

I love her!

 

And yes... you can actually sit on it!

My Lovely Pallet turned Garden Bench!
