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!#
