Here’s how we made a tall planter box from pallets for Habitat ReStore

A little cabinet from Habitat for Humanity ReStore can have a new life as wall art. A little bit of paint, a few tools, and a shopping trip to Habitat for Humanity ReStore can be a magical combination for a creative DIY soul. The variety of items and the endless opportunities to create new uses for those unique treasures makes my heart happy.

For workshops, I always choose affordable and easy-to-manage tools. The tools I shared with the team at FYI Philly are my favorite go-to tools for most projects. They also are easy to carry, set-up, and store away.

I transformed this little side table with a fresh stain of pink-and-pink, and I think it’s ready to brighten up a little girl’s bedroom.

If you are looking for inspiration for your home or you want to do a project like this, I hope you’ll check out other fun DIY projects that we’ve shared on our blog.

I love shopping Habitat ReStore for so many reasons.

The first is the amazing and unique finds, from vintage pieces to trendy new items from well-known stores.

The second reason is that the items are donated, so the money I spend goes to helping build homes for others. So I get a more awesome home, and so does someone else!

I shared this upcycle with Habitat for Humanity, and they shared it on the Habitat ReStore blog. I hope you’ll click below and be as inspired to shop, repurpose and make stuff as we are.
