Do you need extra storage space in your kitchen? Today’s upcycling DIY might be just what you need! I’ve turned some old pallets into a ‘pallet pantry’ and I’ve shared a step-by-step project…
Recycled Wood Pallet Projects
Even after extreme ‘Konmari-ing’ of my kitchen, I still have a little too much stuff to fit in the cupboards, and not enough storage space to keep everything tidy. So an extra storage cabinet was the obvious answer.

But since the kitchen in my 1950s home was decades old, there was no way I could find more fitted units to match. So my thoughts turned to DIYing a little differently and that’s when the pallet pantry project was dreamed up!
There’s a construction site nearby and they’ve always got a stack of pallets they want to give away – with a big “Free Pallets” sign on them. So, knowing I had easy access to some pallets, I decided to put the wood to good use.
I decided to reuse the pallets to create a ‘pantry’ unit containing tins, jars and a shelf for sauces. I thought that including a chalkboard and cork pinboard on the cupboard door would also be a useful addition for lists and notes.
Leaving the spice jars on the worktop after rummaging through the cupboards to find the right spice, I felt the need to include a spice rack in the pallet pantry. This way, I can keep my spices close at hand so they are easily accessible while cooking.
Distinctive Diy Recycled Wooden Pallet Projects
So that’s how the pallet pantry design came together and all that was left was for my genius husband to help me deconstruct the pallets and put my new kitchen unit together.
I’ve shared a step-by-step guide to creating a pallet pantry for yourself on the Safestore blog. There you will find a list of all the materials and tools you will need. Plus I took lots of photos of the whole process to make recreating a pallet pantry as easy as possible for you.
You can make it any shape you like to fit the space you have in your kitchen. And it doesn’t have to be a sanded-and-sealed wood finish like mine—you can chalk-paint it all over or spray paint it to match your existing kitchen decor.
What do you think about the pallet pantry? Are you going to make something similar for your own kitchen? Let me know in the comments below and I’d love to see your photos if you build one yourself!

Recently I went through a Starbucks drive through, which is located very close to the dumpster. And next to that dumpster were several pallets. And my first thought was “These kids need to hop in my trunk so I can do some pallet wood projects.”
But then my second thought was “I live in a one bedroom apartment; I can’t take them unless I know what I’m doing with them.”
So I got my latte and walked out without the palettes. I wish I had seen all those DIY pallet projects before that trip, because then I would have known
Pallet Ideas And Easy Pallet Projects You Can Try
What to do with them. Can you believe there are so many things you can make from pallets?
I’m obsessed with these unique ideas and can’t wait to share them with you; First I want to address some common things when tackling pallet wood projects.
The biggest question I get from people who want to try pallet projects is, “Where can I get pallets?” Here are the most common places I find them.

Repurposed Pallet Wood Projects!
After you allow the palette to take over, grab some gloves. You may want to make sure to protect your hands when handling wood with splinters. Be sure to keep a blanket or towel in your car that you can use to protect your seats.
Avoid any pallets with liquid marks or strange distortions. Some pallets are used to transport food/liquids or toxic chemicals, so it’s best to avoid anything that looks like it’s leaking.
Once you get your pallet home, you’re going to use a pry bar or cat’s claw to separate the pallet. You are, inevitably, going to pry the nails. You should wing it a bit based on your palette. It helps to prop your pallet on something so you can move the pry bar up and down.
Some people like to continue using a pry bar and then a hammer to remove the nails. Others like to use a mutual saw on the nails once they are exposed. These are usually the easiest way to break pallets.
