I know for those of you who know me and my blog, that you know that I love a good pallet, ya know?

I haven't done as much with pallets since my book (BUY IT HERE!) came out.  Not that I fell out of love with pallets, I was just up to eyeballs in pallet parts and with moving and all that entails, I ignored pallets for awhile.  But, I had the pallet itch the other day so we picked up 6 nice pallets over the weekend and I have been happily building this week.

From one pallet I made two cute stools.

I made each one differently.

The bottom one was made using the pallet 2"x 4" for legs.  See a similar tutorial HERE!

I painted it tan, yellow, a little green, and red.  When the red was almost dry I used a small piece of pallet to scrape the red paint and reveal the other colors.

I made the top stool to look more like a vintage stool that was made in a barn somewhere.  I used the jigsaw to notch out the sides for the cross wood piece.

  I painted it bright green and teal and then sanded it heavily.

I used dark walnut stain on each stool.

I am going to make one more stool and then take the trio to my booth to sell. Thank you FREE pallet wood, I have missed you!
