Tons of pallets are being used, abused and then discarded all the time. This entails a great opportunity of us reclaimers, upcyclers and otherwise creative souls to transform old pallets into glorious work of artsy home decoration and recycled furniture. Pallets are major recycling opportunities.
Here are three easy but oh-so-functional DIY projects that stand out:

RECYCLED PALLET LIBRARY BOOKSHELVES
By ‘Die Frau Im Haus’ (discontinued blog)
we love all three projects. Click on the first & second link above for further info and a how-to. Regarding the third project, the book shelves, you can figure out how it’s made by just looking at the bookshelves. Fairly easy. If you want other furniture projects, have a look at DIY PALLET DESK
