Pallet's...What are they good for? Let me tell you!

So how many times do you see empty wood pallets just laying around?  I see them all the time behind my husbands restaurant, but I'm hesitant to take them since they belong to the stores in the plaza and usually the company who delivered them picks them up.  Although lots of times lately I've seen them around houses in the neighborhood that people are remodeling, so I may have to head over and ask what their intentions are for the unused pallet.  ;D 

One of the inspirations I have for Corbyn's new room make-over is to incorporate a pallet or two in some fashion.  Most likely as a headboard.  I haven't entirely decided for sure how I want it to look, but I'm almost positive I love the look of it already.  It's a little edgy and so fun.  Did I mention FREE is always good too!  Corbyn's will most likely be painted and not left raw, although it would go well with the furniture in his room and break up a lot of the gray & black color scheme going on.  You'll just have to wait and see.  But for now here are some amazing ideas of what you can do with a pallet if your lucky enough to come across a few for free.  (Please don't go stealing them from stores, if you see them...maybe just double check with the store manager if you can have one or two first!)  If you can't find any easily, I would suggest checking on craigslist.

I love the pallets as a boxspring for a twin bed. Wonder how comfortable it would be. Great if your child rolls off the bed, it's not a long fall. :D
