I would like to assure you however that I got my pallets from my Husbands work (a furniture store), who he got permission from to take the pallets. There was no stealing involved on our end. Also, we checked with the company and our pallets had not been treated with any chemicals. That is something to consider however. Thanks for the heads up!Pinstrosityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11647945298736302127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-59750790074307549682013-02-03T10:34:05.018-07:002013-02-03T10:34:05.018-07:00Check craigslist for free pallets!

Also, the original link for that coffee table made out of crates is http://diy-vintage-chic.blogspot.com/2012/05/vintage-wine-crate-coffee-table.html <br /><br />Thanks for the inspiration! I'm loving corks and the rustic pallet look right now too.Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04782010947505437090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-49426271574030731372013-01-31T19:17:04.385-07:002013-01-31T19:17:04.385-07:00Just as an FYI, the original image for the pallet ...Just as an FYI, the original image for the pallet bed comes from http://ashleyannphotography.com/blog/2009/06/29/diy-pallet-reading-bed-for-the-nursery/MegTownehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01488308381601661441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-17897895634684133032013-01-31T13:32:27.972-07:002013-01-31T13:32:27.972-07:00I'm gonna be a huge bummer here and remind peo...I'm gonna be a huge bummer here and remind people that in MOST PLACES when you see a big pile of pallets lying out, they are going to be picked up and returned to the place that delivered them. If you take them you are stealing, and the person who owns the company/store will be charged for the pallets. You are literally taking money from someone when you take pallets. Now, this isn't true in ALL areas, but it is in most. So PLEASE check with whoever is "throwing out" pallets. Many urban areas have pallet recycling places where you can pick them up for pretty cheap and ULine sells them (in bulk, not chemically treated) for pretty cheap as well.<br /><br />Additionally, pallets are frequently treated with formaldehyde and methyl bromide (here's a little more info http://www.improvisedlife.com/2010/10/05/the-scoop-on-safe-shipping-pallets-shipping-pallets-101/), which are pretty toxic. So watch for the codes stamped on the pallets to see if they're treated with chemicals or with heat.Brigid Keelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09558327183683074633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-20144964444519833212013-01-31T08:33:06.352-07:002013-01-31T08:33:06.352-07:00I created my own art from an old atlas I had lying...I created my own art from an old atlas I had lying around.
