DIY: Pallet Shelves

This was my inspiration for an empty wall space in our bedroom...

Shipping Pallet Shelves

I won't take you through the whole tutorial on here, but you can find a basic one that I followed loosely here.

what I started with (thank you husband for grabbing the pallet!)

Too much time and too much sweat and soreness later, I discovered we had one of these ---->>>>

Made my life, and this project so much easier!

about half way through

The only significant difference b/t the way I did my shelves and the

tutorial I linked to is that I didn't nail the bottom of the shelves into place.

It was just going to be too much. Instead, I measured the bottom pieces

of wood (from the leftover pallet) to exactly match the width of the

opening. Then I used wood glue and a hot glue gun to set in place!

I'd say we're satisfied with the final product!
