If you want to make the most of your outdoor space this summer and invite guests to your garden for dinner or drinks, today’s upcycling project may give you some ideas for creating a kitchen/dining area.
Lovely Instagrammer @Jillerose emailed me to share her garden furniture upcycling projects after following the step-by-step guide to build my original pallet bar.
I’ve previously shared Jill’s own DIY Spanish Taverna-style pallet bar on my blog to inspire you and now I’ve been given a sneak peek at Jill’s latest addition to her deck – a pallet board buffet for serving up alfresco drinks.
Jill took this old red buffet cabinet and gave it a complete revamp to coordinate with her drop-down pallet bar in the garden. The unit is almost unrecognisable since Jill’s makeover – here’s what she said about it:
‘As you can see I started out with the red cabinet. I decided to add a pallet board buffet to my deck. It was a lot of work but worth it in the end. It’s 55 degrees here this morning and I’m on my deck having my morning coffee.’
And here’s the finished buffet, complete with fresh aqua paint to match Jill’s pallet bar and lots of upcycled pallet wood. I love the parquet-style way that Jill has arranged the offcuts of pallet wood to add extra texture to the back of the unit.
I think it’s a great idea to make your outdoor space a part of your home so that you can go outside and enjoy it all year round. Whether you’re enjoying a hot coffee or sipping on a refreshing spritzer on a sunny day, just being out in the fresh air will be so beneficial for you.
I hope this project has inspired you to get out in the garden this summer and create a fun space for entertaining your family and friends – all from upcycled furniture and old pallet wood from a skip!
