DIY Pallet Bed


It's been a while since my last post! Because it's been a while since I got to do any crafty stuff. We have been doing a bit of travelling around Australia and have just settled in Darwin, and will be staying for a year then moving on again with our travels. When we first moved in to our cute little town house, that we share with another couple, we are on a bit of a budget. So, my handy, hubby-to-be and I decided to get our DIY on and make a bed out of pallets!

I had a look around for some ideas on Pinterest and the web and suggested to have little storage spaces within the bed because our room isn't all that big so the extra storage space would be handy.

We picked up a few pallets and away Shane went with the building, sanding and painting. The credit of the making of the bed definitely goes to him. I helped with painting a little bit *wink* but I wasn't as hands on with this on and just wanted to share his handy hard work. The perks of having a carpenter fiance! (Didn't get any action shots because he worked on this while I was at work)










We used some of the pallet slots for storing our shoes, and he came up with putting drawers at the end. He added some shelving to the bed head as well.



With the left over pallets, he then made a bed side table with a drawer, which I painted!


I just love our pallet bed! It turned out so good and we even got compliments on it from our landlord and asked Shane if he could make her one ha ha!

Shane also made a TV stand out of pallets, clever man.

So, here is another one to add to the collection of pallet DIYs ideas/inspiration!
