DIY PALLET FIRST PROJECT: BOOKSHELVES!

   The first project I did with pallets was the classic coffee table and two book holders.  It was my fiance's idea (now my wife:).  She just moved to Oahu from the Big Island and didn't have too much stuff in her apartment.  So we set about to make it happen.

   It was pretty simple to do the bookshelves.  We simply cut a pallet in half and sanded the outside.  Then we took two cross pieces from another pallet and made a bottom for the shelves.  To be honest they are really heavy, and maybe in the future will be used as planters (we can't have plants in our apartment).  Right now they sit on the floor and hold a couple of books and magazines.  Pretty simple and easy to make!
