Pallet loungers

Someone requested a tutorial and I'm happy to oblige, especially since I was planning on doing that anyway when they were all done. At the time they were only primed white and now they're a bright and luscious red :) So I took a few more pics and decided it was tutorial time! Ok, maybe tutorial isn't the right word because I don't really have any before or during pics (!) But I'll at least be telling you how I went about it. As you can see from the pictures they're really easy and you can probably figure it out just from looking at them, but here we go just the same. I can also add that my lack of before and during pics are due to the fact that I didn't know if it was going to turn out well or not.

Decor 101: DIY Console Table « A Starter House

To my amazement, Ana has been making “plans” of popular furniture….that are easy and available to DIYers like you and me! For the past few months I’ve been practically drooling over her amazing work and dreaming of where I would put these once unattainable pieces in my house. I wasn’t sure when I would be able to convince my husband to let me spend money on wood on something that might or might not turn out. I don’t blame his doubt as I’ve never really worked with wood outside of a few very very simple projects.

Wood can get expensive…and I was relatively wary about doing it myself – surely it couldn’t be THAT easy and I’m impatient which meant the project could end in disaster. So here’s my first wood-working story…. I first chose a plan from Ana’s selection…I needed a console and it said it would be a good beginners project. The next step was filling in all the screw holes with putty. So What’s next? Build a Makerspace.
