Skulking Pallets

I see you out there, skulking through the dark, cruising back lots at nights, scoping your prey, leaping from your truck and pouncing before a rival comes along......

I am of course referring to my fellow pallet lovers! I too have a strange compulsion to bring home stacks of weathered pallets and pile them willy nilly in my backyard. I have been known to make my husband stop and turn around to check out pallets by the side of the road, make special trips through the back road of local factories and yes, even hide a particularly lovely specimen from view until I can return with a larger vehicle.

What would make normal folks behave this way, you ask? Because a stack of free pallets can be turned into an almost infinite number of things! I have floor to ceiling bookshelves in my den constructed of pallet wood, I created and sell lovely birdhouses made out of free pallets and now my current obsession is using pallets to create storage. How great is this trunk made from pallets? I love it's aged look and rustic charm, You can paint it, stain it, whatever catches your fancy. And when I think of all the different things I can store inside boxes like these I go weak in the knees, so skulk on pallet lovers.....skulk on!
