I found a bunch of long pallets in a dumpster. yes, I said a dumpster. and they were all in perfect condition. I loaded up as many as would fit in my girlfriends explorer and headed home. I had no idea what I was gonna use them for, but it was good, free wood. I unloaded them on the side of the house for a few days. (not to leave them there to long to look like trailer trash), and finally took them apart. Taking out staples is a pain in the A@#! I used one pallet to make a headboard and to use for box spring support boards for a bed I was building, then thought...I have been making lots of furniture, but no accent pieces like pictures. I made a few frames and now I can't stop. lol On these two pictures, I used some old metal tractor seats and the center piece. It is country and rustic and very different than Ikea cookie cutter pictures! Talk about a conversation piece!
