On a beach walk yesterday morning I saw some wood pallets for the taking
I thought...Hmmm of a coffee table
…frame for a canvas…
But then came across this idea from Katrin Arens
Now THAT just never occurred to me.
nope.
More of her delicious style…
...celebrating simplicity.
works for me.
Beautifully
You?
And, no...I didn't bring them home...kept on walking.
Dayum!

I am jealous..a "beach walk"!! "DAYUM"... I think you need to go back, pick up at least one of those palettes, and create something...then.... share!!!!
Happy Saturday Linda!! :)
2 gifts you give.
"DAYUM"

New use for a palette.
About to leave for the stones of Stone Mountain under my feet. How I would love a beach walk too.
I find old broken pottery along some of the woodland trails in Stone Mountain. Once, a piece of flow blue. Still, not the beach!

That is a great idea! How clever!
There is a company that makes gorgeous bed linen that photographs the bedding on a bed that is just pallets stacked up with a European mattress on top. It looks great!Enjoyed your post!
great one linda!
something very poetic about making your life from "scraps" and its beautiful :)
i'm going back to look at it again
Some people are just so creative that way..., with re-purposing things. Wood pallets for plates, definitely far-fetched. It looks really cool in that setting!
I have dragged in more pallets from the street to make into something out of nothing, more times than I care to count!
Love the plate rack idea.
xo xo
Well, what are you doing sittin' there??! RUN back and get them you silly girl!
I love the square head nails (at least that's what I think they are?!) as plate holders!
You find the best photos....
happy weekend!

It's just another one of those things where I think, "I never would have come up with that!" Brilliant.
amazing use of pallets and very simple beachy look, it's nice.
Linda, I love this style, this simplicity...beautiful! Have a nice weekend!
I like the pallet idea and her style!
I want to go on a beach walk!!!!!My youngest daughter and husband are in Hawaii as we speak...we have the Grands, ( which I love) but I LOVE the BEACH!!! Yeah ...cool idea for displaying plates on the palettes...anything goes these days! xoxo~Kathy @ Sweet Up-North Mornings...
I came across her work a while back and love it. I couldn't wait to get to the bottom of the first pallet of tile we had to see if I could do something fun with it, but it didn't have nearly the character and charm as the ones she used!
Brilliant, sounds like more walking is in order Linda...xv
This is the best use for these I have have seen. The her style.
You walked past? Nooo, go back and do the amazing shelf:)
Love this post! Makes me wanna go for a beach walk.
I just love that decorating style. Mine is nothing like it, but I love it. I need a dozen different houses to decorate. Then I wonder, which one would be 'home'.?
Love the nails to hold the plates, so brilliantly simple. And that last photo? Makes me swoon.
Lovely day,
~Julia
That is one of the coolest ideas I've seen. Love it. Am sending this link to my daughter. Thanks for the fabulous idea.
What a cute, beachy idea!! I think you need to go back and get a palette!!
i do like the repurposing especially with found/tossed items. lovely. i agree with anita, i need to look at these again. happy sunday.
Love her style. Rustic and simple. Thanks for sharing Linda. I would have nabbed 'em!
Uh-oh! This came at the wrong (right!) time. Hubby is in the process of trying to throw away a wood pallet he rescued from off our seawall. On the other hand, he entrusted me with a derelict crabrap when I saw it had "potential" for repurposing. You can see what I did with it at: http://pachamamahouse.blogspot.com/2009/11/diysalvage-to-art.html
Whoops. Here's the right link:

Linda,
First of all thank you so much for the comment on my post!
The pictures you showed here are wonderful! I love the creativity of making something beautiful with simple things! Well in these pictures you can really see the creativity of this person! I love that!

I want to jump into to that last photo with a good book and cup of tea! So lovely with that one little touch of pink!
Brilliant idea! It would have never occurred to me either! The images are all drool-worthy!
I find myself wanting things simpler and simpler these days, so I thoroughly enjoyed this.
xo

Dayum is right! These are all so gorgeous, they make me want to go scavenging for pallets right this minute!
oh my gosh!!! what an awesome idea!!! i have always wondered what to do with them... love this!!
xoxo
That last photo...I could just sit in that room all day long, a good book and glass of wine in hand...
Delicious. Wonderfulness. I adore it.
these are beautiful - unreal!!!!
Simply beautiful!
Beautiful photos!
i must have 50 palettes hanging around, NOW FINE ME WALL SPACE!
I love these photos - so bright yet rustic
Looking quite 'Belgian' and current and wonderful to me :) Love that casual, pulled together without effort look!
How great! I love all of her pottery and home is just lovely. I understand your reticence to pick up the giant pallets...many a time I have left treasures where they lie because I did not want splinters!
I am impressed that you even thought of what to do with the crates..I probably would have just walked on by. So many bloggy peeps amaze me, and you are one!
xx
Love the idea of the plate rack...I am going to use this in our cabin...I have a couple of pallets around here somewhere, I just know it....
Love to walk the wooden plank on one of these. xo
i like it.
xxx
beautiful little place :)
i will never
look
at them
the same way
again
:-)
and
using

The bookshelf is to die for and the plate cabinate/shelf is a must have!x
Very nice and so glad I found your site tonight
