One thing that really gets us excited here at the Brown Homestead is finding the materials we use in our projects! We recently found a number of dresser drawers being thrown away at a local hotel and with some pallets we picked up from around town we were able to build wall to wall and floor to ceiling shelving in our art studio. We wanted a way to see more of our supplies so we did not spend so much time looking for just the right thing all the time. Since we all like to make things in our studio the hope is that it will be easier to keep it organized. So for the cost of the nails and screws, and our time we were able to put together a really useful wall of shelves. This would be great for a garage too!
One thing to learn about is how pallets are marked. Their are codes on them that tell you if they have been chemically or heat treated so look into that by searching on your computer before you start a project!
