Easy and Cute DIY Outdoor Pallet Furniture

I have recently moved to a new apartment and it was time to decorate my new house. Since I enjoy and love more the things I do my self I decided to create my unique outdoor furniture. An easy and inexpensive way of course is by using pallets. So in only one day I had my bench and coffee table for the balcony ready. It was super easy and fun! I realized that creating furniture by your self isn’t only a man’s job.

What you’ll need:

2 euro pallets for a 80x120cm coffee table, but I preferred a smaller one so I cut the two euro pallets almost in half, into 120x56cm for the bottom part of my coffee table and into 65x56cm for the upper part. I didn’t stack the two parts of the coffee table, just placed the small part over the larger. This way I can have two coffee tables 🙂

For the bench I used larger pallet and I cut it to make 146x42cm but when I placed the cushions I realized It should be widest but it was too late…

I sanded them enough to get rid of the splinters and smoothed it out enough to paint, then I coated the surface with primer and when it got dry I applied the painting and over it the varnish.

Before varnishing the bench I glued some napkin patterns on it for a more romantic touch.

I loved so much the whole diy pallet procedure so I also attended a workshop in order to get improved.

So in just 4 hours I created an armchair but this time with the help of a man.

After the hard but fun work it was time to check if the armchair was comfortable, well to be honest I was a little bit afraid of breaking it and falling down 🙂
