Rarely do I have any extra money to remodel and work on the house projects I am constantly dreaming up! (Thank you Pinterest! My poor husband!) So, sometimes you just have to start with what you have. An unorganized cupboard and, well, pallets! Pallets are usually easy to come by, relatively easy to take apart (especially with the tool my husband made for me), and are a great way to turn something old into something new and useful. So, I set out to organize that cupboard. You know, THAT cupboard. We all have one, don’t we?
Organize that Cupboard
I started out with a mess in our cupboards Disgraceful, I know.
What a mess!
Before and After
Much better!
All it took was 3 pallet boards. One pallet board for the top shelf and the second shelf down has two pallet boards side by side for a wider shelf. This allows for a much better system of organization and was absolutely free for me!
It’s so encouraging to also see that since I took these pictures, we have drastically changed our eating habits to real foods. We cut out almost all processed food, so our cupboards also have a very different content to them now. 🙂
Do you have projects you have been waiting to start? I encourage you to get started! It may not take as much time, resources and money as you think it will and it feels so good to cross an item off that to-do list!
Pallet creations are never-ending. Check out what other projects can be made with pallets: Pallet wall, Pallet toddler bed, Pallet window shutters, Homemade pallet cabinets, built-in cabinets
I live in a very old farm-house and I don’t have any extra money for projects that need to be done and would help out our household. Join me on my farmhouse renovation on a budget.

I love what you said about taking old things and making them new. I think used items have soul – especially furniture, houses, and jewelry!

Soul! Yes, I completely agree! 🙂
