DIY Rustic Pallet Shelf

This pallet shelf really just came about one day when I was bored and looking for a project.  I had a wall in my kitchen that needed something.  Picture?  Shelving?  I didn't know what but I knew it needed something. I ran across an old pallet at work that was in pretty good shape and decided it was the perfect size for the space!  So I threw it in my car and that night my pallet shelf for the Kitchen was born.  :)  It was so easy.  Basically all I did was, sand it down a little then applied oil based stain (Special Walnut) and let it sit outside for a few days (the stain smell was strong for around 2-3 days).


What do you think?  I have an unlimited supply of pallets from work, any other DIY pallet ideas that you think I should try?

    1. Thanks!!!! Special Walnut is my FAV stain color, it has the right amount of brown for me without the yellow/golden look. Most of the time you can find pallets for free on craigslist! Send me pic's!!!
