Futon Beds and much, much more

Earlier in September, we posted an article raving about the benefits and wonders to be had from creating furniture from common pallet wood. Well, we're at it again.

This time we've gone a little further in our search for the most interesting ways to model poor pallets into superior designs. Why settle for a settee, when you can get a Transformer; Sofatron becomes bedmatrix.

With those left-over pieces, after you've created something marvelous for the living-room, why not create something comfy for the dog. Bot that he or she will use it (they much prefer your sofa, bed or lap) but it's the thought that counts.

This sliding pallett door is simply special. It has that heavy, rich, antique look and wouldn't look out of place in a country cottage or manor.

Now, this is for the lads. After those hours of hard labour and graft, don't you deserve a treat too? And what could be better than to wipe the sweat from your brow with an ice-cold Cerveja? Take one table, slice two even holes, add deep receptacle, insert draining function (one assumes for when the ice melts) and deposit beer.

And finally, possibly my favourite (seasonal too, given it's nearly Halloween), the pallett coffin. It explains why zombies and the skeletons in general escape so easily during the full moon. Note to self: use non-rotted pallets for coffin building exercise.

Here at Art of Clean, we don't actually make these things, but if we did (in the immortal, paraphrased words of a very well known beer company) they'd be the best pallett creations, ever.

Pallet Heaven

Every once in a while, you find yourself flicking across the hundreds of channels on your ridiculously Smart TV. You stop on a home D.I.Y. program and your imagination is tweaked.

You think, I can do that!

And you know what, it's entirely possible that you can.

Pallet design has been all the craze for a little while now and shows no signs of stopping, but when was the last time or even the first time you saw a pallet creation in a home, any home? You don't and that's why this weekend is your time to shine.

Dust off the saw, take the hammer off the shelf, hunt out that jar of rusty nails and pop down your local Homebase or B&Q and ask if they have any spare pallets they no longer need. It doesn't hurt to ask.

Once you've strapped a bunch of them to the top of your estate car or managed to fit them half out the boot, it's time to take them home. Advise your other half that you will be spending the day creating a pallet marvel and if she likes, now might be the perfect time to see her mother.

Now that the back garden is all yours, it's time to get to work.

Below are just a few suggested ideas.

Just imagine how surprised your other half will be when she gets home after a few hours of nattering with her mother to find that, yes, you have built her a new home or Castle, whichever suits her best.

Don't forget to sand. If you can't be bothered, call the professionals. We'll be happy to do it for you....the sanding that is, building a castle was all your idea, buddy.
