DIY: Reclaimed Pallet Shelving

DIY: Reclaimed Pallet Shelving

When winemakers Ted Osborne and Kim Wedlake opened a Napa tasting room for Olabisi Wines, the couple went for a simple recycled-rustic look. We especially admire their ingenious shelving made from reclaimed shipping pallets with jelly roll pans in lieu of drawers.

Above: Olabisi’s clever shelving system could be replicated for storage throughout the home.

Above: Pallets typically measure 48 inches wide and are 40 inches long. The best way to procure them is to approach a local business that uses them for shipping, or contact a recycling group such as Pallet Recycling.

Above: Commercial-grade Norpro Jelly Roll Pans measure 18 by 12 inches; available from Amazon for $21.99.

We’ve posted before on two other great ideas for repurposing reclaimed shipping pallets. See Remodelista’s posts DIY: Studiomama Pallet Chair and Slow Design: Katrin Arens Plate Rack.

Love the idea:o)
I have a shelf at home which I made from Leca blocks and planks I bought at a hardware store. What is great about it is the many options I was given. I have shaped it according to my needs and the other design elements in my flat making it more organic than most shelves around. Saved a ton of money as well:o)

Not sure this type of shelving would suit every home - and there's a safety issue to look at with young children.
