Pallet Cabinet

If you've been reading my blog for awhile or follow me on Pinterest, then you know I have a huge obsession appreciation for pallets and the many possibilities they offer for projects. My husband recently found an endless supply of free pallets for me and has been bringing them home weekly. We are slowly working on our kitchen redo and my husband built me a cabinet last week to hold my Kitchenaid mixer and food processor and microwave. Here are the pictures of his process so you can build one too if you love it as much as I do! :)

Here is the basic frame of the cabinet


Back view of the frame

Another back view



I lightly dry brushed the cabinet with standard white paint and sanded it a little with some steel wool.




I love all the storage!!
Here's how he constructed the doors
Here's what the area looked like before with a baker's rack

  62. I've been browsing on-line greater than 3 hours as of late, but I by no means found any fascinating article like yours. It's pretty worth sufficient for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made just right content material as you probably did, the web will be much more helpful than ever before.

  67. STOP WASTING YOUR TIME ON FAKE PEOPLE WHO CLAIM TO BE AN AGENT I WAS SCAMED 4TIMES NOT UNTIL I RECIEVE A MESSAGE ON MY WHATSAPP TO CONTACT MR HARRIS WHICH I DID NOW I AM A FULL MEMBER OF THE GREAT ILLUMINATI BROTHERHOOD BE WHAT YOU WHICH FOR IN LIFE BY JOINING THE GREAT ILLUMINATI BROTHERHOOD TODAY Further encouraging the rumours is the widespread use of supposed "Illuminati" imagery in music videos. Many Freemason and Illuminati symbols, like devil horns and the all-seeing eye, have simply become populaAr in mainstream culture. But it's also true that some musicians seem to enjoy deliberately playing with symbols connected to secret societies.if you are interested contact via whatsapp or call +14092993890 GOOD LUCK.
