Angie & Alex's Pallet Coffee Table

Bill and I finally finished the coffee table that has been on the back burner for awhile. One driving force to finish it was our trip to see Angie and Alex a few weeks before Christmas. We wanted to get it done and give it to them as part of their Christmas gift.

The top is half of a pallet, we added some ply board under the pallet so they would have a small shelf. Perfect size for TV remotes or game controllers.

I had it all stained and one coat of poly on it, I wasn't sure how to put it together. 

Enter my wonderful husband who decided how to finish it and it turned out better than I had dreamed. He put several coats of poly on it. Then he put the chunky legs with castors on it. 

And the coffee table was born.

The table is kind of heavy so just thought it would be nice to be able to roll it out of the way to clean or whatever.

The shelf is about 5-6 inches wide. Plenty of room for game controllers, TV remotes or maybe just maybe a few Craft Supplies!

I am so pleased with how it turned out. And it was fitting that it went to Angie(the other half of Crafty Saturday) I have the other half of the pallet so you know what I am gonna do with it!

Oh Crafty Saturday How I Love Thee!

Pallet Shelf Finished!

Well this has been a craft project that has taken a long time, not because it should but just because we have been working on a lot of different things.

I am really happy with how it turned out and I think Alex and Angie like it to. 

Angie added her touch of class to it with the knobs on the front.

The coat hooks are old ones from our house that has been in the family since it was built over 100 years ago.

I had Bill cut up my pallet, I have enough of these shelves from one pallet to make at least 2 more. I also have a shelf that is twice as long as this one. 

I sanded it for quite awhile, painted it with blue paint, not a complete covering though.

I sanded it again, to give it a distressed look.

Gave it a few coats of poly and then added the coat hooks on the side.

Then it was up to Angie to put on the finishing touches.

they have it hanging right inside their front door. It looks adorable.

And here you have it, all finished up and hanging!

Oh Crafty Saturday how I love thee!
