I love your planter!

I've been collecting wood pallets the last few weeks to build a raised garden bed and a compost bin.

Thanks, SB!

It's certainly been an experience - and I've had to learn how to use power tools & understand things like 'strutcural integrity' heh, but I was tired of waiting for someone to come into my life who would do it for me

It's been pretty great overall. It gives me a sense of independence, as well as satisfaction from having done these myself.

I'm really wanting to make the pallet wine rack. It looks so good! I think it could be used as a mini bar in a small space...

I love the topic of repurposing and upcycling, subscribing.

Enjoying looking at everyone's projects.

I wish it was my planter! Alas, not something I have accomplished (yet).

I hope you post pictures as you move through your projects, I know we'd all enjoy seeing what you create!

If I see anything around town that can repurposed into a unique planter, I'll let you know!

Also, thanks!

This entire site is wonderful. This idea could beget so many other things. I thought it would also be cool for office supplies...maybe a version for hardware and tools...it's a great idea for keeping a small space tidy...infinite possibilities!!
