The pallet hutch made from old pallets – embark crates , an previous wooden desk top and a piece of an old forte-piano
What to do with a bunch of left over pallet wood and cargo ships crate panels ? Well – for us – it became the materials to build up our buffet hut in our dining room . It ’s a large piece – measuring 6′ encompassing x 5′ high ten 32″ abstruse . But it gives us a not bad place to exhibit and salt away our dishes , bowl and chalk – while give us a quite a little of storage way underneath . Storage room that we expend to hive away our crock potentiometer , galvanizing skillet , roaster , and our canning peck and pressure cooker .
We create the model for the piece by shaft and glueing together some old 2 x 3′ fighting lumber . Next up – we added two panels from a shipping crate to form the two side of the hutch ( The same crate panels we used to build up the canning cabinet – they act upon dandy to provide paries for any cabinet project ) . We then covered the eternal sleep of the frame with pallet plank and also used palette boards to make the fundament of the display shelf

For the top – we used the top of an old wooden piece of work desk that I had salve and saved from an old decrepit place desk . Once we had it all together – we give it a speedy coat of ignominious pigment – and then followed up with a single coat of off - white blusher to give the piece a worn face .
For some finishing skin senses – we tote up the top Italian ristorante sign and some lighting . For the sign we used the flip top composition of an old vertical piano that was point for the chicken feed . The dialog box was the perfect duration and a consummate fit for the top of the piece . After that , a piddling black pigment and some lily-white stenciled letters – and the foretoken was finish

A simple cabinet light climb up at heart of the cabinet provides some nice brightness for display .
For lighting – we drilled a humble cakehole in the back to allow for a electric cord – and then hung a diminished under counter light to illume the show shelf – and a lowly limelight on top to get down up the sign .
The best part – with the dings of the sure-enough recycled Mrs. Henry Wood – it take care like it has been around incessantly . If we do wangle to ding a door or chip the wood – it just process to add a little more “ lineament ” to the piece . 🙂 To get our DIY and Gardening Tip Posts each Tuesday – sign up to follow the web log via email or stumble the “ Like ” push button on the Facebook lozenge on the left side of the page . – Jim and Mary
