What I LOVE about furniture pieces like these is that they have a story behind them. I really enjoy being able to tell guests the tale and origin behind a diy project, art piece, or furniture item of mine when I get a compliment on it. Instead of "I bought it at Ikea", the lineage becomes a lot more interesting, and often makes for good conversation.

     Since I feel that saving money goes hand in hand with the tiny house movement, I thought that some of you might be interested in these SEVEN, funky n' free (and creative) coffee tables- all made out of free forklift pallets. I hope these give you some new ideas, or at least make you look at pallets (which are free just about everywhere) in a different light. I felt that these were some colorful and fun examples as well- enjoy....
