Hubsters decided to try his hand at building something from pallet wood. While I was at work one day, dear daughter showed him how to get on Pinterest and find things. He found a trunk from Instructables and decided that was the project he would tackle. He didn't use the exact plan at all (which is shocking because he is a man who likes an exact plan). I was thrilled with the results.
I painted it in fun colorful layers,
stained the inside,

and added handles.
This piece is pretty big and used loads of screws--I
think hubby is going to keep it simple in the future, but he had fun and thinks I am a little less crazy now for being a pallet princess.
Wow! Great job Mr. Picket Fence! Now you can step back Becky and just be the painter....

He did a great job! You better watch out...he's going to want a blog of his own soon! At least now he'll happily drag home pallets without prompting I bet!
ReplyDeleteYour hubby did a great job! Do we see a future venture? It could be called "Designs by Mr. & Mrs. Picket Fence"!
ReplyDeleteOnce again (or should I say "as usual") and awesome project! I love that it's functional as most of your projects are. The colors are so great. I would fall to the floor if I came home and found out that not only had my husband been on pinterest...but that he was inspired by it and made something incredible. Now that I think about it...maybe I should teach him how to use it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great stroage/decor piece. I'm loving these pallet projects.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! How fun that he decided to share in your obsession ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love this . . . the color, the idea of using pallet wood, the hardware. Everything about it is perfect! Thanks for sharing and blessings to you, Patti

So fun!! Glad he caught the "bug"...will you have to share your tools now? ;) Still LOVE your layers of colors...
ReplyDeleteI love it. You inspire me all the time with your beautiful creations. I loved your bench from a few days ago so much that I just had to try my hand at building one too. Unfortunately it's still a little too chilly here in Seattle & I didn't have any pallet wood so I built one in miniature dollhouse scale. It came out adorable if I do say so myself. I stained the top & painted the rest of it wildflowers yellow. Then I distressed it. Thank you for sharing & congrats to you & your hubby for an awesome piece! Keep on building!!
ReplyDeleteThis turned out SO cool!! Love the layering of colors!!
ReplyDeleteHow do you do the painting by layers?

ReplyDeleteI love this trunk and the colors in it. I have recently started looking on Pinterest for pallet ideas and I can't wait for my boyfriend and I to make a trunk like this one. Its absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing. The turquoise is the exact color I have been looking for - can you tell me what it is? Thanks!
