Yay!  Pallet table complete!  A couple years ago I had found a scorpion in our house.  Well, it turns out that the scorpion was from one of these pallets that I had my husband take from a construction site. (We had permission, of course!)  Now, a little while later, I finally talked my hubby into giving this another shot.  We had tried one as a patio table and it was a great disaster.  We put saw horses on it for legs, as we had some extra just sitting in the garage, and it looked horrible.  So it was with great relief that all of this work paid off, because I'm pretty happy with it.  

Our pallets were VERY rough.  I've noticed that when you see these pallet table instructions the pallets are in perfect condition.  Jason says that he believes they actually build the pallet, and then go from there.  You don't notice it until you start working with them.  It's very difficult.  But it works, and I like the roughness of the tables.  I think it adds something to them.

And check out those two little stools beside the table!  We are so lucky to have great, great neighbors who made these for the girls, and they love their chairs!  Our neighbor is a sanitation worker, and he gets these cores for free, which the stools are made of.  I customized them a bit with some fabric I've been working with in other parts of the house.  LOVE them.  So fun for the girls.
